Strawberries are in season, and so are margaritas! The sun is starting to come out, so get ready for this refreshing drink! Here is a delicious recipe to start for those sunny days!

Ingredients

• 1 pound of strawberries (hulled)
• 1 cup of silver tequila
• 2/3 cup of freshly-squeezed lime juice
• 1/3-1/2 cup of honey or agave
• 1/4 cup of Cointreau or Triple Sec or any orange liqueur
• For serving: ice, salt to rim the glasses, or extra fresh strawberries or lime slices for garnish

Directions

1. Add strawberries, lime juice, orange liqueur, tequila, and honey to a blender.
2. Pulse until completely smooth.
3. Let the mixture rest for about 3 minutes, then skim off the foam on top.
4. Taste and add extra tequila or sweetener if desired.
5. (If you would like to serve these in a salt-rimmed glass, simply run a lime wedge around the top of each glass. Then dip the top of the glass upside-down in a bowl of coarse margarita salt.
6. Garnish the glasses with fresh strawberries and/or lime slices if desired.

To serve on the rocks:

1. Fill each glass about about half full with ice, then pour the margaritas over the ice and serve immediately.

To serve frozen:

1. Add about 3-4 cups of ice to your blender with the strawberry margarita mixture, and pulse until smooth.
2. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
