Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
- 1 pound strawberries, stems removed and halved
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz Grand Marnier
- 2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 oz strawberry puree
- 1 1/2 oz mint-infused simple syrup
- Margarita salt for rimming the glass
- Halved strawberries for garnish
- Fresh mint for garnish
- Lime wedges for rimming the glass
Instructions
- Begin by making the mint simple syrup. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the mint leaves, then remove from heat and let it cool completely before removing the mint.
- Prepare the strawberry juice by blending the halved strawberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, using a spoon or spatula to push it through if needed, until you are left with juice.
- To assemble the margarita, moisten the edge of a glass with a lime wedge and rim it with margarita salt. Fill the glass with crushed ice.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice, strawberry puree, and simple syrup. Shake for 30 seconds, then pour into the prepared glass.
- Garnish the margarita with halved strawberries, a sprig of mint, and a lime wedge, and enjoy immediately!
