The BEST Strawberry Margarita

This is the best strawberry margarita because we first roast the fruit. With this step, we intensify the strawberry flavor for an even better margarita.

To roast the strawberries, we toss them with sugar and vanilla and then spread them on a sheet pan. We roast them in the oven until they're nice and syrupy.

Now we add the strawberries to a blender and process until they're nice and smooth like so. A food processor also works.

Let's grab our cocktail shaker and add the roasted strawberries, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup and ice.

Now we pop on the top to our cocktail shaker and give it a vigorous shake. I like to do this for about 15-30 seconds to ensure it's properly chilled.

Love a salted rim? Run a lime slice along the edge of the serving glass and then swirl the glass in coarse sea salt.

Now we strain our roasted strawberry margarita into an ice-filled glass with that fun salted rim.

For the finishing touch, we add a strawberry and lime wheel garnish. Now sip and enjoy the most perfect strawberry margarita!

I love a good strawberry margarita and roasting the strawberries takes it to another level! Such a simple step and such great flavor.
