Fresh Strawberry Marg-alrightasAdapted from Rachael Ray's "Classic 30 Minute Meals"
Serves 2
These were terrific! The fresh strawberries made for a drink that smelled great, tasted great, and offered that islandy feel that, let's be honest, who doesn't appreciate? It was enough margarita, yet not too strong. Any drink that involves a blender HAS to have a great outcome, because, for me, if it doesn't, it's not worth the clean-up that follows. This one passes the test. I typically go for a salted rim with margaritas, but the strawberry addition made me want to pass on this one.
Shout out to The Little Lady's brother and his girlfriend for providing The Mr. and I with such great margarita glasses!
~1 pint ripe strawberries (I used 10 strawberries)
The juice of 1 lime
1 T. Rose's lime juice (or an additional lime)
4 T. sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
4 shots good-quality tequila
1 tray ice cubes
coarse salt to rim glasses, if desired
Reserve two strawberries to garnish the rims of your margarita glasses. Trim remaining strawberries.
Add strawberries, lime juice, sugar, orange juice, tequila, and ice cubes to a blender. Blend on high until the drink is icy, but smooth.
Pour into margarita glasses (rimmed with salt, if desired), and garnish with a strawberry.
