Here is an easy guide on how to make a strawberry margarita with premium ingredients and fresh puree.

 

Strawberry Margarita Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ⅓ oz (40 ml) premium silver tequila

  • 1 oz (30 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice

  • ⅔ oz (20 ml) triple sec or Cointreau

  • 1 oz (30 ml) strawberry purée (fresh or store-bought)

  • ⅓ oz (10 ml) simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

  • Ice cubes

  • Fresh strawberries, for garnish

  • Lime wheel or wedge, for garnish

  • Salt or sugar for rimming the glass

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Prep Your Glassware: Start by rimming your glass with salt or sugar to enhance the drink’s sweet or savory profile. Moisten the rim with a lime wedge, then dip into salt or sugar.

  2. Ice, Ice, Baby: Load your cocktail shaker with ice to create a crisp, cold foundation.

  3. 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).

  4. Shake it Up: Firmly cap your shaker and give it a hearty shake until frosty.

  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the vibrant blend into your prepared glass.

  6. Garnish with Freshness: Adorn your drink with a fresh strawberry and a lime wheel to enhance both the look and taste.

  7. 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.
