Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 3 ounces (90 ml) tequila blanco
- 1 ounce (30 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- Ice cubes
- Coarse salt for rimming glasses (optional)
- Lime wedges and strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions
- Rub a lime wedge around the rims of two cocktail glasses. Dip the rims into coarse salt spread on a small plate to coat evenly. Set aside to dry slightly.
- Place the hulled strawberries in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth but still slightly textured. Pour the puree into a cocktail shaker.
- Add 3 ounces tequila blanco, 1 ounce triple sec, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon agave syrup to the shaker.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until chilled.
- Fill the prepared glasses with fresh ice cubes. Strain the cocktail mixture evenly into each glass.
- Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a slice of strawberry on the rim.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Do not over-puree strawberries to keep a slightly pulpy texture. Shake vigorously but not too long to avoid over-dilution. Rim glasses with coarse salt for balance; add chili powder to salt for a spicy twist. Prepare garnishes and rim glasses while pureeing strawberries to save time. Serve immediately for best taste and chill.
