Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1-2 fresh jalapeños, sliced (adjust based on spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

1/4 cup agave syrup (or simple syrup for sweetness)

1 cup tequila (blanco is preferred)

1/2 cup orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)

Ice cubes

Sea salt and lime zest (for rimming glasses)

Fresh strawberries and jalapeño slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Glasses: Start by rimming your glasses with lime juice and then dip them into a mixture of sea salt and lime zest. Set aside.

    Make the Strawberry-Jalapeño Puree: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries and jalapeños. Blend until you have a smooth puree. If you prefer some texture, blend lightly to keep some strawberry chunks intact.

      Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine the strawberry-jalapeño puree, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, tequila, and orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill everything.

        Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more agave syrup. For an extra kick, toss in a few more jalapeño slices and shake again.

          Serve: Fill your prepared glasses with ice and strain the margarita mix into each glass. Make sure to leave room at the top for garnish.

            Garnish: Garnish each drink with a fresh strawberry and a slice of jalapeño for a pop of color and an extra hint of spice.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors of this unique margarita!
