Equipment

blender (I highly recommend Vitamix blenders)

Ingredients

Margarita salt or kosher salt (see note 1)
Lime wedges
1 pound fresh strawberries hulled (see note 2)
1 cup tequila (see note 3)
2/3 cup fresh lime juice (from 5 to 6 limes)
1/3 cup honey (see note 4)
1/4 cup triple sec (see note 5)

Instructions

In a shallow dish as wide as your serving glass, add Margarita salt (or kosher salt) to 1/4-inch deep. Run a lime wedge around the top of each glass, then dip the top of the glass upside-down into the salt and turn to coat.
To a blender, add strawberries, tequila, lime juice, honey and triple sec. Pulse until completely smooth.
Let mixture rest for about 3 minutes, and skim off foam. Add more tequila or sweetener to taste.
Fill each rimmed glass about half full with ice. Add margarita mixture, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Notes

Margarita salt: Homemade margarita salt is fun to make when you're feeling extra. Or, use kosher salt or even sugar.
Strawberries: We recommend fresh strawberries for this cocktail. Frozen strawberries lacked flavor and tasted "watery."
Tequila: For a similar, stronger flavor, substitute Mezcal.
Honey: Or substitute simple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar to taste.
Triple sec: Or substitute your favorite orange liqueur such as Grand Mariner, Cointreau, or Curacao.
Frozen margarita: Add ice to your blender to taste and blend until slushy (I like about 5 cups of ice).
Daiquiri: To make a strawberry daiquiri, substitute rum for the tequila.
