About as tasty as a blended summer cocktail can get. All you need is a strong blender, some fresh strawberries and a few other items. This recipe makes four margaritas
Instructions
1. Make sure your blender is strong enough to grind ice cubes.
2. Wash and trim the strawberries, removing any white spots or pieces of leaf or stem.
3. Fill the blender half-full with ice. This is the key; the ice must be the first thing the blender grinds up.
4. Add the tequila, Triple Sec and lime to the blender, and top it off with as many strawberries as you can fit into the blender.
5. Cover the blender carefully.
6. Start blending the drink by "pulsing" the blender in a few short bursts. This helps break apart the ice cubes without jamming the blender.
7. Watch the blender - if it jams, gently shake it to free any ice cubes stuck in the blades. If that fails, use a long wooden spoon to free the area around the blades.
8. After the first few pulses, run the blender continuously until all the ingredients have been blended into a slushy mixture.
9. Pour into serving glasses garnished with a slice of lime. Serve immediately.
