Notes
- Have fresh strawberries? Just add more ice! Use up to 2 cups of ice to make a thick, icy margarita when using fresh strawberries.
- To make simple syrup: heat 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated white sugar and stir until dissolved. Turn off heat and transfer to a jar. Store in the fridge.
