Ice, Ice, Baby: Load your cocktail shaker with ice to create a crisp, cold foundation.
Muddle the Magic: Add tequila, lime juice, triple sec or Cointreau, and strawberry purée to the shaker. Sweeten with simple syrup if you like it sweeter. Gently muddle to marry the flavors (especially if using additional fresh fruit or a chunkier puree).

Strain and Serve: Strain the vibrant blend into your prepared glass.
Garnish with Freshness: Adorn your drink with a fresh strawberry and a lime wheel to enhance both the look and taste.
Sip and Enjoy: Raise your glass to a perfect blend of zesty lime, robust tequila, and lush strawberries. Cheers to a delightful cocktail experience!
#Pro Tips from Baza
** Choose High-Quality Tequila ** Opt for a premium silver tequila to ensure the smoothest flavor base.
** Fresh vs. Store-Bought ** Whenever possible, use fresh strawberries for your purée to maximize the fresh, fruity flavor.
** Experiment with Rims ** Mix salt and sugar or add a dash of chili powder to your rim for a spicy kick.
** Double Strain **To ensure a smooth texture free from strawberry seeds and pulp, consider double-straining the mixture into the glass.
