How to Make Fresh Strawberry Margaritas

About as tasty as a blended summer cocktail can get. All you need is a strong blender, some fresh strawberries and a few other items. This recipe makes four margaritas

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• 1 pint fresh strawberries
• ice
• 3/4 cup (4 shots) tequila
• 3/4 cup Triple Sec
• Juice of 3 limes
• Groceries
• Juicers
• Drinking Glasses
• Blenders
• Paring Knives
• Wooden Spoons
• Cutting Boards

1. • 1
     Make sure your blender is strong enough to grind ice cubes.
   • 2
     Wash and trim the strawberries, removing any white spots or pieces of leaf or stem.
   • 3
     Fill the blender half-full with ice. This is the key; the ice must be the first thing the blender grinds up.
   • 4
     Add the tequila, Triple Sec and lime to the blender, and top it off with as many strawberries as you can fit into the blender.
   • 5
     Cover the blender carefully.
   • 6
     Start blending the drink by "pulsing" the blender in a few short bursts. This helps break apart the ice cubes without jamming the blender.
   • 7
     Watch the blender - if it jams, gently shake it to free any ice cubes stuck in the blades. If that fails, use a long wooden spoon to free the area around the blades.
   • 8
     After the first few pulses, run the blender continuously until all the ingredients have been blended into a slushy mixture.
   • 9
     Pour into serving glasses garnished with a slice of lime. Serve immediately.
