Crushed Strawberry Margarita

If there ever was a time to break out those upside down sombreros, also known as margarita glasses, today is the day.

But, but, but for some reason in my plethora of glassware you won’t find nary a one. I suppose that has something to do with most of my “props” being hand-me-downs from my grandmother and she was more of a gin-and-tonic-sorta gal than a margarita one. In the summers especially she’d make herself a tall gin and tonic and carry it around neatly wrapped in a colorful paper cocktail napkin suited for the occasion.

Most of them were emblazoned with floral arrangements or wine grapes with lots of trailing vines. When she died I found four drawers full of cocktail napkins. My favorite had a nun drinking out of the aforementioned inverted hat and read ‘Sister Mary Margarita’. I guess she did enjoy a good ‘ol Mexican cocktail every once in a while.

Anyhoo, it’s Cinco de Mayo and while I can’t offer up a slurpee-esque strawberry marg in a glass the size of my three-year-old’s head I can offer a very tasty alternative. This drink tastes more like real strawberries and less like bubble gum. It allows you to drink a fruit-flavored cocktail and maintain your dignity. Also muddling the strawberries and lime wedges together smells intoxicating all by itself, just imagine what happens when you add the tequila.

Happy Cinco de Mayo party people!! Viva Mexico!

    Hi! I’m going to make this on Friday and just wanted to check in and make sure all the ingredients listed are right. Only 1 1/2 ounces of liquid total? Nothing else? Thanks!

      Hi Katrina! Good question. The ingredients listed are for 1 drink. If you want to make a pitcher I would do a pint of strawberries, wedges of 1 entire lime, 6 ounces tequila, and 3 ounces Grand Mariner and see if that is enough, then double those amounts if you want to make more. You can mash the strawberries and lime wedges in a pitcher then add the tequila and Grand Mariner and stir it all together— without ice— cover and refrigerate up to an hour in advance. Then serve in salted rim glasses over ice. Let me know how it turns out! Happy 4th of July!
