Recipe for Fresh Strawberry Margaritas

*Recipe for one margarita, can easily be multiplied

Ingredients

2 ounces Grand Marnier

1 1/2 ounces Tequila

2 ounces lime juice

2 1/2 ounces strawberry simple syrup (recipe below)

Lime + fresh strawberries for garnish

Salt + sugar for the rim

Recipe for Strawberry Simple Syrup

Combine equal parts sugar and water, bring to a boil and let sugar dissolve, then turn off heat and let cool completely. Combine 1 cup simply syrup + 1 1/2 cups slices strawberries in a blender and blend until combined. If you’d like, you can strain the mixture over a fine mesh strainer to remove the strawberry seeds.

Instructions:

Rim the ridge of your glass with a lime wedge and dip in a mix of margarita salt + sugar (about 3 tablespoons salt to 2 teaspoons sugar). Fill the glass with ice.

In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, grand marnier, simple syrup and lime juice with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds. Pour over ice and squeeze in lime slices and add a few strawberries.

If the stain is still wet use a small amount of Langenwalter’s spot removal on it. You don’t want to dump too much cleaning solution on at once. With a clean white, or neutral colored cloth, gently dab the stain. Keep repeating the process until the stain is gone.

Is this stain too deep for cloth cleaning? Leave it alone and give Langenwalter a call. Our technicians will use the proper tools and carpet cleaning techniques to get the stain out without ruining your carpet. Click here to visit our website for more information.
