Strawberry Mint Margarita
This Strawberry Mint Margarita is so refreshing with fresh strawberries and mint muddled together to release all their flavor and juices, combined with tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave. A perfect fruity cocktail!
Yield: 1 drink
EQUIPMENT
- Muddler
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oz blanco tequila
- 4 strawberries
- 4 mint leaves
- 1 oz lime juice
- ½ oz orange liqueur
- ½ oz agave nectar
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a cocktail shaker, a mason jar, or directly in your glass, muddle the strawberries and mint together until the strawberries release their juices and the mint is very fragrant.
- To the muddled mixture add the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave. Mix (or shake) to combine. If you made it in a cocktail shaker then pour over a cup of ice. If you made it in a glass then add some ice!
NOTES
- Keep it chunky or strain – I like to keep the strawberry and mint pieces in the drink for added flavor, but if you’re really adverse to that then you can strain them out. It just might be a little light on the strawberry flavor!
- Blend the strawberries – another route for this easy strawberry margarita recipe is to blend the strawberries until smooth and then add the other ingredients!
- If you don’t have a muddler – the back of a wood spoon will work just fine!
- For a smoky flavor try mezcal
- Use a different kind of tequila – Swap blanco tequila for reposado or any other kind - whatever your preference is
