Strawberry Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup honey
- 1 ½ cup strawberries sliced
Strawberry Margarita
- 2 strawberries
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 ounce strawberry syrup
- ½ ounce Grand Marnier
- lime, fresh strawberries, and mint for garnish
Strawberry Simple Syrup
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, honey, and sliced strawberries.
Bring syrup mixture to a simmer and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Strain strawberry syrup through a fine-mesh strainer. Don't press strawberries, it will make the syrup cloudy. Place it inside the refrigerator until you need it.
Sugar and Salt Mixture
Mix honey crystals, salt, and lime zest and place them on a small plate.
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your margarita glass.
Roll the rim of the margarita glass in the sugar and salt mixture. Set aside.
Strawberry Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, muddle 2 strawberries to release their juices.
Pour in tequila, lime juice, strawberry syrup, Grand Marnier, and ice cubes. Shake until the cocktail shaker is very cold.
Pour into prepared glasses with ice cubes and garnish with limes, strawberries, and mint.
- I like to make a large batch of margarita mix, transfer it into mason jars, and freeze.
- When straining the simple syrup don't press on the strawberries, it will make it cloudy.
- If you don't have Grand Marnier a splash of orange juice will do the trick.
- Fresh strawberries are in season from the end of March through July. Buy frozen strawberries if they are not in season.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker and glass jar with a lid will work. Just make sure to have a fine-mesh strainer.
