Strawberry Margarita
Better way to celebrate the beginning of the Spring is with a refreshing beverage, sharing with you my latest inspiration using organic strawberries from Florida’s local Wish Farms and Tequila Patron.
INGREDIENTS
- 8-10 organic strawberries, medium size
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 cup of agave nectar
- 1/2 cup of tequila blanco
- 2 tablespoons of anisette liquor or cointreau
- Ice
Preparation time: 5 minutes. Makes 4 drinks. Approximate cost per person $4.00 depending on ingredients market price. You will need a blender and margarita glasses.
Combine all ingredients using the blender, make sure to add enough ice to achieve a frothy consistency. Serve in a nice margarita glass and decorate with a fresh strawberry.
Stay cool, and get ready to enjoy a refreshing cocktail with your guests.
Please drink responsibly and do not drink and drive

Dumb questions…what is agave nectar and where do I get it?
Hi Joan, thanks for your comment and great question. Agave nectar (sometimes called agave syrup) is most often produced from the Blue Agaves that thrive in the volcanic soils of Southern Mexico. Agave nectar is a healthy option and the taste is comparable to honey. It also has none of the bitter aftertaste associated with artificial sweeteners. There are 2 kinds the amber (dark) and the gold (light); amber is non filtered has stronger flavor; gold is light color can be used for many culinary applications. Have found agave nectar at Walmart, Publix, Whole Foods, local organic stores and farmers markets or online. If you don’t want to use agave nectar for this recipe you can replace by making a simple syrup (1 cup of boiling water add 1 cup of sugar could be brown or white refined, combine and let simmer for few minutes until it gets a syrupy consistency, let it cold and then use). Hoping you find this helpful, feel free to drop me a line if you need more information. Have a great day!
