Strawberry season is almost upon us. Oh, the sweet, sweet strawberries.

Strawberries!
Strawberries!

We want you to celebrate those little red bulbs of goodness with a nice refreshing treat this summer so we’re offering our take on a fresh strawberry margarita. This is a perfect drink to enjoy on your deck by yourself or in large batches with friends.

If you’re in Windsor-Essex, we strongly recommend using local strawberries. They may seem much smaller, but oh boy they pack some huge flavour.If strawberry season comes to an end or you just don’t like them, the good thing is you can replace them with any fruit you like.

Fresh Strawberry Margarita

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries
  • 1 ½ ounce of Tequila
  • 1 ounce Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 cup ice (can omit the ice and just serve on the rocks)

Blend all ingredients. Garnish with strawberry.
