Salt or sugar (for rimming the glass, optional)

Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Glass:
-
Start by preparing the glass. This step is optional but highly recommended for adding an extra touch of flavor.
-
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. This helps the salt or sugar stick to the glass.
-
Dip the rim of the glass into a plate of either salt or sugar. The salt gives the cocktail a more traditional margarita flavor, while the sugar adds a sweeter note. Choose based on your preference. Set the glass aside once the rim is coated.
2. Blend the Ingredients:

In a blender, combine the following:
-
2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
-
2 oz tequila (silver preferred)
-
1 oz triple sec (orange liqueur)
-
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
-
1 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
-
1/2 cup ice (crushed or cubed for a smoother texture)
-
-
Blend everything together until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, feel free to add extra ice or strawberries to the mixture.
3. Serve:
-
Pour the blended strawberry margarita mixture into the prepared glass.
-
The smooth and frothy texture will create a delightful visual as it fills the glass.
4. Garnish:
-
Garnishing your cocktail is the final touch. Place a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a fresh strawberry on the side for an eye-catching presentation.
5. Enjoy:

Your Strawberry Margarita is now ready to be enjoyed! Sip and savor the refreshing, sweet, and tangy flavors that come together in this delightful drink.
