Strawberry Margarita

The Strawberry Margarita is blanco tequila and a splash of mezcal, shaken with strawberry purée, fresh lime and simple syrup and served over ice. The strawberries bring ripe fruit, lime keeps it tart, and the mezcal adds a smoky backbone. Garnished with a lime twist and a strawberry, it is Cinco de Mayo's drink.

History

Fruit margaritas became popular in the United States as blenders and frozen drink machines spread from the 1970s onward. This version shakes fresh purée instead of blending and adds mezcal for depth.

Making a batch? Scale it for a crowd, add dilution water, and see how many bottles to buy.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
