Ingredients
Strawberry Mixture
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Liquids
- 3 ounces tequila
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
- 4 ounces chilled club soda
Others
- Ice cubes
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Macerate Strawberries: In a cocktail shaker, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to allow the sugar to soften the strawberries and release their natural juices, enhancing the flavor.
- Add Tequila and Lime Juice: Add the tequila and lime juice to the shaker with the macerated strawberries. Muddle the mixture gently to further release the strawberry flavors and blend everything together.
- Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, then shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture thoroughly and combine the ingredients.
- Strain into Glass: Strain the strawberry-tequila mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down immediately.
- Add Club Soda: Top off the drink with 4 ounces of chilled club soda and stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.
- Garnish: Finish by garnishing the cocktail with fresh strawberries for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- For a sweeter cocktail, adjust the sugar amount to taste or use simple syrup instead.
- If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, let the strawberries macerate longer before mixing with tequila.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best balance of tartness and freshness.
- Chilled club soda helps maintain the fizz and keeps the cocktail refreshing.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
