Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml tequila
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tequila, honey, lime juice, lime zest, and freshly ground black pepper until the honey is fully dissolved.
Place the prepared strawberries in a mixing bowl, and pour the tequila mixture over them.
Toss the strawberries gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the strawberries marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for a more intense flavor.
Spoon the marinated strawberries into serving bowls or glasses, ensuring to drizzle any remaining tequila mixture over the top.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
