Ingredients
Strawberries:
1 cup blanco tequila
2/3 cup fresh lime juice (from 5 to 6 limes)
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1 pound medium stem-on strawberries with stems
Salty Lime Sugar:
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
Directions
- For the strawberries: Stir the tequila, lime juice, liqueur and agave together in a measuring cup. Poke holes all over the strawberries with a toothpick. Nestle the strawberries stem-side up in a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Pour the tequila mixture over the berries in the loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
- Make the salty lime sugar: Combine the sugar, salt and lime zest in a small bowl. Rub the zest into the sugar and salt until the mixture turns pale green.
- Drain the strawberries; you can strain the tequila mixture and save it to drink or for another use. Arrange the strawberries on a platter and serve with the lime sugar on the side for dipping.
