A thick, tart blender cocktail made with frozen berries, reposado tequila, orange liqueur, lime, and agave.
Equipment
- Blender
- Shallow plate for salting the rims
- Two serving glasses
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz frozen strawberries about 1 cup
- 1 oz orange liqueur about 2 tablespoons
- 1 oz fresh lime juice from about 1 lime
- 2 oz reposado tequila about 1/4 cup
- 1 oz agave syrup about 2 tablespoons
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt
- 8 oz ice about 1 cup
- 1 tbsp coarse salt for the glass rims
- 2 lime wedges for the rims and garnish
- 2 fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
Cooking
- Rim the glasses. Wipe a lime wedge around each glass rim and press it into coarse salt on a plate, then place the glasses in the freezer.
- Blend the drink. Combine the strawberries, orange liqueur, lime juice, tequila, agave, kosher salt, and ice in a blender. Pulse for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth with no berry chunks.
- Adjust the texture. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the mixture is too stiff to pour, or 1/2 cup more ice if it looks thin, then pulse for 10 seconds.
- Serve cold. Pour into the frosty glasses, garnish with strawberries and lime, and serve within 10 minutes.
Notes
Substitutions: Use blanco tequila, triple sec, or simple syrup in the same amounts. Skip the tequila and liqueur and add 3 ounces of sparkling water for a drink without alcohol.
Tips: Do not drive after drinking alcohol. Pulse in short pops so the mixture stays thick.
Storage: Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week and blend again with a splash of water.
