Simple Summer Strawberry Margarita

IMG_1601.jpg

After a long day, I need to unwind. So, I head out to my kitchen where I can have some fun and craft me a new version of my favorite cocktail: the Margarita.

I enjoy this drink so much, I've dedicated an entire month to sharing different recipes! I especially love this recipe because it includes a fruit that most people typically have available to them, or it's a quick trip to the store to grab, if need be! Limes & Strawberries are all you need to craft this beautifully fresh cocktail.

New to the tequila scene? Camarena is a fantastic go-to; there's a reason they've won so many awards! It's very sip-able and smooth, making it great for a cocktail or to throw back as a shot with a lime! The silver tequila has hints of sweet vanilla, savory brown spices, and black pepper with a warming finish--making a great tequila for any experience. The price is accessible as well--$24.99 for this nice size bottle, not bad. You will not be disappointed.
