A Fruity Strawberry Tequila Cocktail with Ginger Beer
Quick to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand this Strawberry Tequila Cocktail with Ginger Beer is the perfect cocktail for your next happy hour.
In the glass of a cocktail shaker add the strawberries, mint, and limes.
With the help of a muddler, mash until the lime releases all the juices and the strawberries are pureed.
Add the tequila and simple syrup, and vigorously shake.
Rim the glasses with the lime salt and fill with ice.
Pour the tequila smash into the glasses using the strainer that came attached to the cocktail shaker.
Top up with ginger beer.
Garnish with mint sprigs and strawberry or lime wedges.
Notes
To make the lime salt just zest 2 limes over ¼ cup of salt and stir until incorporated.I like to use blanco tequila but you can use reposado if you prefer. For even more strawberry flavor you can use a strawberry simple syrup instead of plain.
