Toss strawberries with sugar and vanilla and spread onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Oven roast for about 25-30 minutes until the strawberries turn syrupy.

Once cool, add the strawberries to a blender with a splash of water. Blend until smooth. This is our roasted strawberry purée for our margarita.

If you'd like a salted rim, run a lime slice along the edge of the serving glass and then swirl in coarse sea salt like so.
3
Pour the roasted strawberry purée, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice.
4
Now put on the cocktail shaker top and give it a good, vigorous shake. About 15-30 seconds does the trick.
5
Fill that glass with a salted rim with ice. Remove the cocktail shaker top and strain into the glass. Sip and enjoy!
