The Perfect Strawberry Margarita

You have to make a choice in this unusually delicious strawberry margarita recipe: Do you want to put a laser focus on the strawberries (Fragoli wild strawberry liqueur is the pure essence of strawberry flavor) or enhance their beauty (Cointreau does that beautifully) or balance their wonderful sweetness with even more sophisticated complexity (Aperol is perfect for that)? A “fan-sliced” strawberry (cut into several slices from just under the leaf-capped crown toward the tip) makes a simple, tasty garnish wedged on the side of each glass.

Here's the recipe: https://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/th...

To make about 2 cups strawberry puree, cut the leafy crowns off about 15 to 20 strawberries and cut them in half (you need about 3 cups halved strawberries). Scoop into a blender or food processor, add ½ cup sugar, cover and process until smooth. Pour into a storage container (strain the mixture if you think there may be unblended bits), cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use, up to 3 days.
