Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Muddler
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Bar spoon
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Serving glass
  • Ice

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila blanco or reposado
  • 3-4 fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup or agave nectar
  • 2 oz lemonade
  • 4-5 fresh mint leaves
  • crushed ice for serving
  • 1 lemon slice for garnish
  • 1 mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the sliced strawberries and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker and muddle gently to release juices and oils.
  • Pour in tequila, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup (or agave), and lemonade.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain into a serving glass packed with crushed ice.
  • Garnish with a lemon slice and a mint sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe strawberries for best flavor. Blanco tequila tastes cleaner; reposado adds a hint of oak. Adjust sweetness by reducing the simple syrup or swapping for agave. For a lighter, bubbly version, top with a splash of sparkling water.
