This post is part of the Summer of Margarita’s Series.
What do you do when you have a basket of fresh strawberries from the farmer’s market/store/garden?
You make strawberry margaritas, of course.
Equipped with Sauza Tequila, fresh strawberries, simple syrup, triple sec, limes and a fun margarita glass from Snoloha, I made a batch of fresh strawberry margaritas this Labor Day weekend to celebrate the end of summer.
What you’ll need:
- 1.5 oz Tequila
Fresh Strawberry Margarita in a Snoloha Glass
- 1.5 oz Strawberry Puree
- 1/2 lime
- Triple Sec
- Simple Syrup
- Salt or Strawberry Sugar to rim glass
To make the strawberry puree, cut up fresh, washed strawberries (cut off stems and white part) into quarters, then place into blender with splash of simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar is dissolved). You may need to add more simple syrup to get the right consistency.
Fill blender with ice, add strawberry puree, tequila, juice of lime, and splash of triple sec and blend until mixed.
Pour into margarita glass.
Other variations I’ve seen of the strawberry margarita include adding limeade and a mixture that includes limeade, DeKuyper Strawberry Liqueur, and Champagne by Sauza, but you can also use a variety of strawberry margarita pre-made mixes if strawberries are out of season and you don’t want to buy frozen strawberries.
