Strawberry Marguarita

Hull and slice 2 cups of fresh strawberries, then spread them on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour until solid.

Prepare your serving glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and dipping each rim into coarse sugar or a sugar-salt mixture to coat evenly.

Place the frozen strawberries into a blender along with 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar or simple syrup.

Add 1 cup of crushed ice to the blender, then blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and slushy with no large ice chunks remaining.

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lime juice as needed, blending briefly to incorporate.

If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of water or lime juice and blend again; if too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or ice and blend until the desired consistency is reached.

Pour the frozen strawberry mixture carefully into the prepared rimmed glasses, filling each to just below the rim.

Garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry slice and a small lime wedge on the rim, then serve immediately.
