Ingredients

1 pound fresh strawberries hulled
1 cup silver tequila
1/3 cup pure honey or agave syrup for a smoother sweetness
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 5 to 6 limes
1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest optional, for a citrusy depth
Margarita salt or coarse kosher salt for rimming glasses
Fresh lime wedges for garnish and rimming

Instructions

Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into creating this delightful beverage. Here’s how to do it, step by step.

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Start by washing and hulled your strawberries. Place them in a blender. You’ll want to ensure they’re fresh, ripe, and at their peak of sweetness. Those berries are the heart of your drink.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients

To your blender, add the tequila, honey, freshly squeezed lime juice, and triple sec. Blend on high until everything is completely smooth. If you want that extra zest, now’s the time to toss in the grated orange zest too! It adds a depth that’s simply divine.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust

This part is essential. Taste your mixture. If you need more sweetness, add a little more honey. If it’s too tart, add a splash more tequila or lime juice. You control the flavor—make it yours!

Step 4: Rim the Glasses

Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glasses. Next, dip the rim into a plate of margarita salt. The salty contrast enhances the drink’s flavor.

Step 5: Pour and Serve

Pour the strawberry margarita mixture into the prepared glasses over ice. For a frozen version, you could blend ice right into your mix in the previous step. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge, or even a strawberry for that extra finesse.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Sip and enjoy your creation! Remember, this is your drink. Make it a joyful experience—share it with friends or treat yourself after a long day.

Notes

Every ingredient in this drink contributes to the final experience.

Fresh Strawberries: A great source of antioxidants, strawberries help boost your immune system and skin health. They provide a sweet-tart balance that pairs beautifully with the acidity of lime.
Silver Tequila: Look for 100% agave tequila for the best flavor and quality. It’s lighter and perfect for mixing. Plus, it gives a nod to authenticity.
Honey and Agave Syrup: Both are natural sweeteners. Honey has unique health benefits, whereas agave syrup is more neutral in taste. Choose based on your preference!
Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice wakes up your drink, providing that necessary zing. It also helps balance the sweetness from the strawberries and honey.
Triple Sec: This orange-flavored liqueur smooths other flavors together. Don’t sweat it if you can’t find triple sec. You could experiment with other orange liqueurs.
Grated Orange Zest: This is an optional extra but brings brightness and depth to the drink. A little goes a long way!
