This recipe is focused on creating a balanced, vibrant, and aromatic Margarita, perfect for a fresh take on the classic.

Component	Ingredient	Amount
Spirit	Blanco Tequila	60 ml (2 oz)
Liqueur	Orange Liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)	30 ml (1 oz)
Acid	Fresh Lime Juice	30 ml (1 oz)
Sweetener	Light Muscovado Sugar	1-2 tsp (or to taste)
Infusion	Dried Strawberry Slices	5-7 pieces
Infusion	Rose Petals	A pinch (3-5 petals)
Garnish	Strawberry, Lime & Mint Salts	For the rim
Garnish	Dried Lemon, Lime, or Orange Garnish	1 slice

Prepare the Rim: Pour a small amount of strawberry, lime & mint salts onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your chilled Margarita or rocks glass. Gently press the outer edge of the rim into the salts to create a fragrant, textured edge.
Muddle (Infusion Base): In your Garnish Club shaker jar, combine the light muscovado sugar, dried strawberry slices, and rose petals. Add a small splash of lime juice (about 1/2 tsp) and gently muddle these ingredients. This helps release the strawberry and rose aromas and starts dissolving the sugar.
Add Liquids: Pour the blanco tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice into the jar.
Shake: Fill the shaker jar completely with ice. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled. A hard shake is key to proper chilling and integration of the fruit and floral flavors.
Serve: Fill your prepared, salt-rimmed glass with fresh ice. Double-strain the Strawberry Margarita mixture into the glass to ensure a silky-smooth drink, free of any rose petals or larger fruit pieces.
Garnish: Garnish with one of the dried lemon, lime, orange, or blood orange garnishes from the kit.
