Slightly spicy strawberry margaritas made in a pitcher for easy entertaining.
Ingredients
  • 1 pint strawberries, divided, sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers with sauce, chopped
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, divided
  • ½ cup triple sec
  • 1 cup tequila
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 lime sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. Stir 1 cup of the strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar in a medium bowl. Add more sugar depending on the sweetness of your berries. Add the chipotle pepper and let macerate while mixing other ingredients.
  2. In a pitcher, stir together ½ cup of lime juice, triple sec, and tequila.
  3. Put 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix the salt and chili powder. Using a margarita or rocks glass, dip the rims of the glasses first in the juice, then in the salt mixture. Set aside.
  4. Mash the strawberries and peppers with a fork or muddler. (If you have an immersion blender, now would be a great time to use it.) OPTIONAL: Strain the strawberry mixture through a mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
  5. Add strawberry mixture to the pitcher. Add reserved strawberries and sliced lime.
  6. Fill salt rimmed glasses with ice, and serve.
