  • 2 parts Lime Juice

  • 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Other

For Single Servings:

Add strawberries and lime into a shaker. Muddle the strawberries, then add the other ingredients and ice. Shake vigorously. Double strain into a coupe glass or low ball glass with ice. (Note: When double straining, use a large mesh strainer as the strawberry puree will clog a finer strainer. Alternatively, you can skip the extra strain if you are okay with some muddled strawberry making it into the final drink).

‍

For Batch Cocktails:

Add strawberries to a blender with lime juice. Blend lightly, and strain through a colander to remove large pieces. Then strain through a medium strainer to remove smaller strawberry puree. You may want to strain again, but keep in mind that fine mesh straining strawberry puree can take time. Once your lime/strawberry juice mixture has been strained to the desired clarity, add it to a measuring pitcher with tequila and/or mezcal (you can do half and half for added complexity), simple syrup, and salt. Mix and pour into a clean bottle. When serving, add the mixture to a cocktail shaker with ice, shake vigorously, and strain into coupe glasses to serve.

Or a dash of saline solution.
