Strawberry-Balsamic Tequila Sour Recipe
- 2 1/2 ounces fresh strawberries, sliced (about 7-8 medium berries)
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup (see note)
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon homemade or store-bought balsamic syrup or glaze (see note)
- 10 mint leaves
- 2 ounces silver tequila (100% agave)
- Garnish: Additional sprigs of mint and/or whole strawberry
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle strawberries, simple syrup, lime juice, and balsamic syrup until strawberries are completely dissolved. Add mint leaves and gently tap 5 times with muddler. (Do not over-muddle mint or it will taste bitter and muddy.) Add tequila to shaker and fill 2/3 full with ice.
- Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Using a strainer, pour into a serving glass filled with ice. Garnish with additional mint or strawberry if desired.
