Strawberry Margaritas
Servings 1 cocktail
- 3 ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar or 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 ounce orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, or Cointreau
- lime wheel, for garnish
- Muddle strawberries in a bottom of a cocktail shaker with the agave nectar or sugar, until the berries are almost completely liquified.
- Add the tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur. Fill the shaker about halfway with ice, and shake for 15 to 20 seconds, until the mixture is very cold.
- Remove the lid and strain through a julep strainer or coarse mesh strainer into a chilled coupe glass, or short tumbler half full of ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
