Do you know what is really fun to do after a long day of work? Create a new margarita by mixing and tasting. As I write this I’m on my second Strawberry Margarita and happy with my creation. With this week’s Friday Foodie Fix secret ingredient being strawberries and Cinco de Mayo approaching, I thought there must be some way to combine the two. I like margaritas but they can be extremely sweet. Also, because I don’t make them very often, if I go out and buy the Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Grand Marnier the bottles just sit around and go to waste by evaporating before I use them again. I wanted a drink that used fruit and tequila and a little agave. So here it is. I really like the color and taste. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am! Oh and these are gluten free and dairy free.

Diane – This sounds yummy! Do you think Stevia could work in place of Agave?

Kirsten- Yes it would work. I'm not sure the ratio so add a little and then add a little more if needed. Let me know how it turns out.
