This recipe makes a lot of margaritas – I divided the recipe in half as my shaker container would only hold 1/2 recipe at a time.

• 5 oz. strawberries, 1 cup
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (I used key limes – sure wish I had a juicer to juice all those little limes)
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (I used Meyer lemons)
• 1/4 cup superfine sugar
• Pinch salt
• 2 cups crushed ice (I gave my electric ice crusher away – I am having second thoughts about doing that)
• 1 cup 100 percent agave tequila, preferably reposado (from  Mexico)
• 1 cup triple sec
• 1/2 cup Chambord

Process strawberries, lime juice, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a blender until smooth about 30 seconds. Divide in half and work with half the recipe at a time. I do not strain the mixture as I like the texture and of course more flavor.

Divide 1 cup crushed ice among 3-6 margarita glasses. My glasses were large and would make about 3 drinks. Strain juice and discard solids if desired. Add half of the juice, tequila, triple sec, Chambord and 1/2 cup crushed ice; shake until thoroughly combined and chilled, 30 seconds or so. Strain into ice-filled glasses and serve. Repeat to make more…

ATK says it is the perfect balance of sweet, sour and tart flavors. The 100 percent blue agave, which is aged for 12 months, had a mellow flavor that blended with the other ingredients.

Sugar/salt mixture for the rims… 3 tbsp. salt and 2 tsp. sugar, or you can use all salt or all sugar. I didn’t add…
