Margarita Strawberries
Margarita Strawberries are fresh, juicy strawberries soaked in a zesty blend of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, then rolled in a lime sugar-salt mix for a sweet, tangy, and slightly boozy twist on the classic cocktail!
Servings: 25 strawberries
Ingredients
- 2 lbs strawberries rinsed and drained
- 2 cups silver tequila
- 1 cup triple sec Cointreau or Grand Marnier also work
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 1 tsp coarse salt
Instructions
- Rinse and drain strawberries, then pour them into a large bowl or container.
- Pour the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice over the strawberries, so that they’re submerged. Cover and let the strawberries soak in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Add the sugar, lime zest, and salt into a shallow bowl, then use your fingers to work the lime zest into the sugar.
- Remove the strawberries from the fridge, pat them dry, then working one by one, roll them in the sugar and lime zest mixture.
- Enjoy immediately! The berries will get soggy if they sit for a couple of hours.
