The tequila holiday is upon us.
And I’ve made a Strawberry Rhubarb Key Lime Margarita.
Well, two margaritas actually.
I would call these a hybrid of sorts.
Not a fully frozen margarita and not a on the rocks margarita.
Why?
Strawberries.

While it is rhubarb season, hence the fresh syrup, the strawberries aren’t quite perfect.
So I used the frozen strawberries from last years peak strawberry crop.
I also chose to use key limes because I love them more than regular limes.
The first thing you have to do to make these margaritas is make the rhubarb syrup.
Fresh rhubarb is preferred but you can use frozen if out of season.
The recipe for the syrup makes for more syrup than what you will need.
It goes great in smoothies, on top of ice cream, and in other cocktails.

In fact, I’ll have another cocktail next week that uses it.
If you are not familiar with rhubarb it’s a tart fruit.
My aunt always made Rhubarb Grunts which are kind of like a cakey cobbler.
I’ve never put it in a cocktail thought and that turns out to be a mistake.
Because it makes for a very refreshing cocktail.

If you can’t find key lime juice, you can use regular limes.
Or you can use frozen limeade concentrate as well.
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
