Notes

  • If you would like to use fresh strawberries instead of frozen, increase the amount of ice to get a nice thick consistency.
  • To make this for the kids, substitute ½ cup of orange juice for the tequila and triple sec. 
  • For an extra kick, you can add a splash of spicy jalapeno-infused tequila or a few slices of fresh jalapenos to the blender.
