Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita

The perfect balance of sweet, tart and tequila. 

Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita

Ingredients:

For margarita:
3 ounces strawberry rhubarb syrup, chilled
2 ounces tequila
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce triple sec
Kosher salt, for rimming the glass
For garnish: lime wedges and sliced strawberries

For syrup:
1 cup quartered strawberries
1 cup 1/2 diced rhubarb
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup water

Directions:
For margarita:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add in strawberry rhubarb syrup, tequila, lime juice and triple sec. Shake until cold.

Add kosher salt to a small plate. Lightly dip the rim of your short cocktail glass in water and dip in the kosher salt to create a kosher salt rim.

Fill the glass with ice and pour the margarita over the ice. Garnish with lime wedges and sliced strawberries.

For syrup:
Add all ingredients to a medium-sized saucepan and set over medium heat. Let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes. Try not to smash down the fruit as it cooks but it will start to get very soft. After it has cooked down and the mixture is a deep red color (about 15 minutes) strain it into a bowl. Let the mixture drain for a few minutes without pushing the fruit through the strainer.

Once strained let it cool in the refrigerator.
