Review:

Fresh strawberries combine well with tequila in this fruity margarita. The strawberry already makes this drink viscous so sugar syrup is preferable to agave syrup and blanco tequila freshens more than reposado tequila, although both are fine substitutions.

Today I had not enough strawberries left, so I used raspberry syrup instead of rich syrup. This also makes a nice variant which one could extend to other (a.e. black) fruits.

We just discussed wether a strawberry margarita or a strawberry daiquiri is preferable and agreed the a strawberry margarita is winning because the tequila blanco give such a nice contrast to the soft strawberry aromas.

Made this again, but substituted Giffard's Creme de Fraise des Bois for the sugar syrup. Upped the strawberry flavour.

Excellent - I made this in the Nutribullet with an extra cube of ice. And mezcal. Tippy top.

Our strawberries were the first of the season and not as sweet as later strawberries. This was a great cocktail. The tastes are subtle and delicate. Would make again the next time I have fresh strawberries.
