Ingredients
- 1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro Syrup, recipe follows
- 2 teaspoons rose water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grenadine
- Ice
- 1/2 cup pink grapefruit juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 ounce triple sec
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- Fresh cilantro sprig, for garnish
Directions
In a blender, combine the strawberries, Cilantro Syrup, rose water, and grenadine and process until well blended and smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. Pour the strawberry puree into a large martini glass.
Put 3/4 cup ice into a cocktail shaker and add the grapefruit juice, lime juice, Triple Sec, and tequila. Shake well for 10 seconds to chill the ingredients. Strain into the martini glass over the strawberry puree. Garnish with cilantro sprig.
Cilantro Syrup:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the sugar and water and heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is hot, remove from the heat and add the chopped cilantro to the pan. Allow the syrup to cool for 15 minutes, then strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard the solids. The syrup may be made up to 2 weeks in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use.

berry sauce, cilantro sauce, then ice alcohol rose water and all that jazz? there are much better ways to enjoy tequila without spending hours in the kitchen. im sure it sounds wonderful, but i dont think the work is worth the final product
