Roasted Strawberry Margarita
Prep a glass by running a lime on half of the glass rim and dipping in kosher salt. Fill the glass half way with crushed ice.
Add a couple cubes of ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour in the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, strawberry puree, and agave.
2 oz roasted strawberry puree, 1.5 oz tequila, ½ oz Cointreau, ½ oz fresh squeezed lime juice, ¼ oz light blue agave syrup
Use kosher salt on the rim of your glass (not iodized table salt!!).
Only salt half the rim of your glass, just like with the Pineapple Margarita some times you want a sweet sip and sometimes you want it sweet and salty.
Pick really red strawberries that are juicy and ripe.
Make sure you get all the juice and jam that cooks out of the strawberries into your puree.
