Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Strawberry Margarita

Description

What better thing to enjoy after your tasty soup?

Ingredients

3 ounces (6 tablespoons) tequila*

3 ounces (6 tablespoons) Cointreau

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) fresh lime juice

10 ounces (1 ½ cups) frozen whole strawberries (fresh work too!)

1 tablespoon simple syrup, agave syrup, or maple syrup

1 cup ice

Directions (Cocktail)

Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of two glasses. Dip the edge of each rim into a plate of salt (or for a festive look, use our Margarita Salt). Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until fully combined: you can blend until it’s an icy texture, or keep blending for a minute or so until it’s more liquid. Taste and add additional sweetener if desired. Pour into the glasses and serve. Note: Easily doubles for 4 drinks (or triples, based on the size of your blender).
