1 ounce Cointreau (2 tablespoons)
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (2 tablespoons) from about 1 lime
2 ounces Reposado Tequila (¼ cup)
1 ounce agave syrup or simple syrup (2 tablespoons)
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces ice (1 cup)

For 6 Servings

32 ounces frozen strawberries (4 cups)
4 ounces Cointreau (½ cup)
4 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (½ cup) from about 4 limes
8 ounces Reposado Tequila (1 cup)
4 ounces agave syrup or simple syrup (½ cup)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
32 ounces ice (4 cups)

For the Salt/Zest Rim

2 tablespoons margarita salt
1 teaspoon lime zest from ½ lime
1 tablespoon raw sugar optional

Instructions

Rub the rim of the glasses with a lime slice and dip in the prepared salt blend; set aside.
1 teaspoon lime zest, 1 tablespoon raw sugar, 2 tablespoons margarita salt
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix on CHOP until desired consistency.
4 ounces Cointreau, 4 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice, 8 ounces Reposado Tequila, 4 ounces agave syrup, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, 32 ounces ice, 32 ounces frozen strawberries
Pour into prepared glasses, garnish with fresh strawberries and a lime wedge.

Notes

For a delicious, fizzy twist, add about ¼ cup sparkling fruit juice (sparkling cranberry juice is fabulous) or clear soda to each serving of the frozen margarita mixture and stir.
To make your own simple syrup, just boil down 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a pan on low heat, until clear.
Taste test the margarita after mixing to see if you want it sweeter before adding agave or simple syrup.
To rim the glasses, use a saucer and gently press and twist the rim flat into the salt mix.

Storage: Store frozen strawberry margaritas in individual glasses in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Serve directly from frozen or blend in a blender before serving.
