Ingredients
1
lb
strawberries
stems removed
1
cup
water
¾
cup
sugar
4
oz
silver tequila
1.5
oz
triple sec
3
oz
lime juice
(fresh squeezed is best but not required)
Instructions
In a large blender, pulse your strawberries until they are pureed. Set aside (you will need the blender again)
1 lb strawberries
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar into the water, stirring constantly.
¾ cup sugar,
1 cup water
Remove from heat and add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.
4 oz silver tequila,
1.5 oz triple sec,
3 oz lime juice
Pour your tequila mix into your straberries in the blender, and pulse until well-combined.
Pour the mixture into a 13x9 glass dish, cover, and freeze for 1 hour.
Remove at the 1 hour mark and use a fork to stir up the slushied contents of the granita.
Return to freezer and freeze at least 2 more hours, stirring/scraping again with a fork every 30 minutes.
Use a fork to break up the granita again before serving.
*If desired, run a lime around the rim of a glass and dip in sugar (I used turbinado sugar) before serving.
