In a shallow dish as wide as your serving glass, add Margarita salt (or kosher salt) to 1/4-inch deep.

Run a lime wedge around the top of each glass, then dip the top of the glass upside-down into the salt and turn to coat.

To a blender, add strawberries, tequila, lime juice, honey and triple sec. Pulse until completely smooth.

Let mixture rest for about 3 minutes, and skim off foam. Add more tequila or sweetener to taste.

Fill each rimmed glass about half full with ice. Add margarita mixture, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Margarita salt: Homemade margarita salt is fun to make when you’re feeling extra. Or, use kosher salt or even sugar.

Strawberries: We recommend fresh strawberries for this cocktail. Frozen strawberries lacked flavor and tasted “watery.”

Tequila: For a similar, stronger flavor, substitute Mezcal.

Honey: Or substitute simple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar to taste.

Triple sec: Or substitute your favorite orange liqueur such as Grand Mariner, Cointreau, or Curacao.

Frozen margarita: Add ice to your blender to taste and blend until slushy (I like about 5 cups of ice).

Daiquiri: To make a strawberry daiquiri, substitute rum for the tequila.
