Ingredients
  

  • Salt to rim the glass
  • 2 ounces white tequila
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • 1 ounce strawberry simple syrup recipe below
  • Fresh strawberries and lime slices to garnish
Strawberry Simple Syrup
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Method
 

  1. Begin by making the strawberry simple syrup. Add the strawberries, sugar, and water to a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, then skim off any foam from the top of the syrup.

  2. Wet the rim of a glass with a slice of lime and then dip it into salt. Fill the glass with ice.
