Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 oz lime juice fresh or bottled
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 4 mint leaves
- 2 oz tequila blanco
- 3 strawberries
- 2 lime slices for garnish
- 4-6 oz club soda to taste

Instructions
Cooking
- Rim the glass. Rub a lime slice around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it into the chili lime seasoning.
- Muddle. Add the strawberries, simple syrup, and mint to the glass and muddle until the berries break down and the mint is fragrant.
- Add the rest. Pour in the lime juice, fill the glass with ice, add the tequila, and stir until the glass feels cold.
- Top. Add 4 to 6 oz club soda to taste.
- Garnish. Finish with a strawberry slice, mint leaves, and a lime wheel.
Notes
Substitutions: Use agave syrup instead of simple syrup, or reposado tequila for a softer flavor.
Tips: Slap the mint before muddling, and use ripe berries so you need less syrup.
Storage: Ideal fresh. Keep un mixed ingredients separate in the refrigerator.
