Toast to Spring With These Strawberry Margaritas

Reported by POPSUGAR:

When strawberries are in season, you can never have too many strawberry cocktails! Instead of mixing the sweet red berries with vodka or gin, why not combine them with tequila for a vibrant twist on the margarita?

This easy recipe is a potent crowd-pleaser that’s sure to get the conversation flowing. It may seem like a lot of work to haul out the blender, but trust me, this drink is worth it. It’s refreshing and fruity, but salty and strong at the same time: perfection in a glass! Start your party right with strawberry margaritas.
