I love strawberries and I love margaritas. Here’s my take on this great duo. Be sure to use a high quality tequila like Partida Tequila Reposado. Or come to Aldaco’s and try a rockin’ strawberry margarita.
In the winter, I source fresh strawberries from Florida and I freeze them for use all summer long in margaritas for our restaurant patrons, Charlie (my husband) and me. Salud!
Blanca’s Rockin’ Florida Strawberry Margarita
Ingredients
- 8 to 10 hulled fresh Florida strawberries or 4 ounces frozen sliced strawberries
- 4 ounces Partida Tequila Reposado
- 1 1/2 ounces fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 1/2 ounces Triple Sec or agave nectar
- About 1 to 2 cups ice cubes
- Coarse salt, sugar or Trechas for rimming each glass
- Whole fresh strawberries and lime slices for garnish
In a blender, combine strawberries, tequila, lime juice, Tripe Sec, and ice; blend until smooth.
Pour into margarita glasses rimmed with coarse salt, sugar or Trechas. To crease the rimmed glass, take a lime wedge and rub the edge of the glass so it is moist. Dip the edge of each glass into the salt, sugar or Trechas. Note: Trechas is a chili-lime powder. You’ll find it in the produce section of your supermarket. It’s good on fresh fruit too.
