Blended Strawberry Margarita Recipe

Recipe Type: Beverage & Cocktails, Strawberries<
Yields: 2 to 3 servings
Prep time: 10 min


Ingredients
:

8 to 10 hulled fresh strawberries or 4 ounces frozen sliced strawberries in syrup (partially thawed)*
4 ounces tequila
1 1/2 ounces fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 1/2 ounces Triple Sec
Lots of ice (about 1 to 2 cups ice cubes)**
Coarse salt or sugar, for rimming the glass
Whole fresh strawberries, garnish
Lime slices garnish

* Using frozen strawberries (with syrup), will provide a sweeter margarita.

** How much ice you use depends on your taste. You may want to experiment with the ice.


Preparation:

In a blender, combine strawberries, tequila, lime juice, Tripe Sec, and ice; blend until smooth.

Pour into stemmed Margarita Glasses rimmed with either coarse salt, Margarita Salt or coarse sugar. To create a salt or sugar-rimmed glass, take a lime wedge and rub the drinking surface of the glass so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into coarse salt or sugar.

Garnish with a whole strawberry and a lime slice (optional).

Makes 2 to 3 serving.
 

Non-Alcoholic Version: Omit tequila and Triple Sec. Add an additional squeeze of lime juice.
