In the United States, the classic version of the Margarita cocktail has gained the most popularity, despite the fact that Mexico is its homeland. Strawberry Margarita is one of the classics. This is a light and elegant drink that plays with its strawberry note in a company with refreshing lime and a pleasant taste of overseas, but at the same time, tequila that we have long loved. Try this option cocktail be sure to recommend in the midst of the berry season. Indeed, it is thanks to the fresh berries that the strawberry Margarita looks especially romantic and refined.
We proceed directly to the recipe for this delicious cocktail. For him we need:
- a handful of fresh strawberries;
- 35 ml of silver tequila;
- 25 ml of lemon juice (lime);
- 25 ml of orange juice "Cointreau";
- sugar or icing sugar, ice.
Making a Margarita cocktail with strawberries does not take much time. Using a blender, beat all the ingredients of the cocktail. Lubricate the edge of the cocktail glass with lemon juice and dip in sugar. Pour the cocktail and enjoy its taste. If you like a sweeter taste, add 15 ml of strawberry liquor.
Strawberry Margarita at first glance does not seem to be very different from the classic recipe. In order to achieve a perfect balance of taste, the standard on the ratio of ingredients in the composition is adopted. These are seven parts of tequila in relation to three parts of Cointreau or Triple Sec liqueurs and the same amount of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice.
The preparation of the Margarita cocktail allows experiments with the addition of exotic fruits and berries that are better known to us, as well as with the amount and method of adding ice. A major role in this drink is played by lime or lemon juice. Indeed, depending on the country from which the fruit was brought, a cocktail will sound differently. Mexican lime has a pronounced bitterness and a rather sharp taste, and thick-skinned brothers - lemons - add a mild flavor to the cocktail.
Now we know how to make strawberry Margarita. I would like to bring to your attention a few cocktail recipes that will help you spend an evening with friends in an unforgettable atmosphere and enjoy exquisite tastes. The main thing - do not be afraid of experiments!
Light cocktails can be prepared at home. Not for nothing we called them lungs - these are cooking methods that do not take much time and ingredients that will not tire your body. To prepare one of them we need melon and watermelon. Clear the flesh of the watermelon and melon. If they are sweet, then sugar can be omitted. Cut into slices and send to a blender. You can add lemon juice for piquancy. You can offer such a cocktail to children.
Make a wonderful light cocktail from citrus. For him we need oranges, grapefruits. You can add apple juice and powdered sugar. This diet drink perfectly quenches thirst in the summer heat.
Light cocktails may contain alcohol. Its content should not exceed 10%. We will now learn how to prepare another light and non-alcoholic cocktail based on milk. In my opinion, this is the easiest and cheapest drink. We need milk, ice cream (it can be creamy, vanilla, ice cream or any other to your taste). To give the cocktail a special taste, we will use our favorite jam. So, for a liter of milk we need 250 grams of ice cream, and we will add jam syrup to taste. Beat all the ingredients in a blender bowl, bring to the formation of foam on a milk surface. You can add ice, but, in principle, ice cream is already cold. If the drink is planned to be consumed immediately, then you can do without ice.
