Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 150g)
  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 oz tequila blanco
  • 1 oz triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 oz agave syrup (or honey/simple syrup)
  • Ice cubes (for shaking and serving)
  • Coarse salt (for rimming)
  • Chili powder (optional, for rimming)
  • Strawberry slices (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)
  • Extra jalapeño slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Hull and slice 1 cup fresh strawberries. Thinly slice 1 small jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
  2. In a cocktail shaker, add strawberries and 2-3 jalapeño slices. Muddle until juicy and fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add 2 oz tequila blanco, 1 oz triple sec, 2 oz fresh lime juice, and 1 oz agave syrup. Add a handful of ice cubes.
  4. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until well chilled.
  5. Mix 2 tbsp coarse salt with 1 tsp chili powder on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip into the salt/chili mix.
  6. Strain the margarita through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
  7. Garnish with a strawberry slice, lime wedge, and optional jalapeño round.

Notes

For less spice, use fewer jalapeño slices or remove all seeds. If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, add a bit more agave syrup. Make ahead by mixing all ingredients except ice and garnishes, then chill and serve over ice. For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice until slushy.
