The Strawberry “Jargarita” is a delightful twist on the classic margarita, served charmingly in a jar. It combines the vibrant flavors of fresh strawberries, the zing of lime, and the kick of tequila for a refreshing cocktail perfect for warm evenings or festive gatherings.
Ingredients:
- Fresh strawberries, hulled
- Tequila (preferably blanco)
- Triple sec or orange liqueur
- Freshly squeezed lime juice
- Simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- Ice cubes
- Salt (for rimming the jar, if desired)

- In a cocktail shaker or directly in the jar, combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and the blended strawberries. Adjust the quantities to your taste preferences.
- Add simple syrup if you like a sweeter cocktail.
- Fill the jar with ice cubes and shake or stir until well mixed.
