Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries and Marinade
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 24 large strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Margarita Mixture
- 1/2 cup silver tequila
- 1/4 cup triple sec
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Squeeze the juice of one lime directly over the 24 large strawberries and gently toss them so they are evenly coated with the lime juice for added tartness and flavor.
- Make Sugar Mixture and Coat: In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar, kosher salt, and the zest of one lime. Roll each lime-coated strawberry in the sugar and salt mixture to cover them thoroughly, syncing sweetness with a hint of saltiness and citrus aroma.
- Mix Margarita Ingredients: In a medium measuring cup, stir together the silver tequila, triple sec, and lime juice to create the classic margarita cocktail base that will infuse the strawberries.
- Infuse Strawberries: Pour the margarita mixture into pipettes and insert a pipette into each strawberry. Use the pipettes to gently inject the margarita flavors into the fruit for an exciting burst of cocktail goodness in every bite. Repeat until all the margarita mixture is used and all strawberries are infused.
Notes
- Use ripe, firm strawberries for the best texture and flavor balance.
- The kosher salt enhances the sweetness and brings out the lime flavor while balancing the tequila’s bitterness.
- Serving these strawberries chilled makes for a more refreshing taste experience.
- Use clear pipettes for an elegant presentation and easy dispensing of the margarita mixture.
- This recipe contains alcohol and should be served to adults only.
