Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup sliced Fresh Strawberries
  • 2 tsp. Granulated Sugar
  • 4 oz. Tequila silver (blanco) or reposado
  • 2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 oz. Triple Sec
  • 1/2 oz. Fresh Orange Juice
  • 2 tsp. Agave Syrup also called Agave Nectar
  • small pinch Kosher Salt

Instructions
 

  • Slice the strawberries (about 4-5 slices per berry), and place them in a small bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, and stir the strawberries until they are coated in sugar. Let them rest in the bowl for 10-15 minutes, until some juice starts to accumulate in the bottom of the bowl.

  • Transfer the strawberries and any juices from the bowl directly into a cocktail shaker. Muddle until the strawberries are totally broken down and very juicy, about 30 seconds to a minute.

Notes

*To make a rim for these margaritas, combine equal parts salt and sugar on a small plate. Run a lime wedge over the rims of the glasses, then dip the glasses into the salt and sugar mixture. Shake off any extra, then fill the glasses with crushed ice.
