Notes
Tequila swap: Don Julio 1942 is a premium option, but any good-quality blanco or reposado tequila works well.
Make it sweeter: Add simple syrup or agave nectar to taste if you prefer a sweeter blend.
Go bubbly: Top with sparkling rosé or soda water for a fizzy twist.
Frozen strawberry shortcut: Frozen strawberries can be used for the purée—just thaw before blending.
Party prep tip: Make a big batch, freeze it, and re-blend with a splash of juice when ready to serve.
Mocktail version: Skip the tequila and use strawberry sparkling water or non-alcoholic spirits for a booze-free treat.
