Strawberry Raspberry Margarita

I’m seriously over this weather guys.

The week goes from sunny to rainy to cold.

I’m over it.

I find myself craving

the South Texas warmth

fresh berries

AND margaritas.

Today I’m bringing in the warmth with these beautiful strawberry raspberry margaritas.

I gently cooked down fresh strawberries and raspberries to create a lusciously thick sauce that I use as my base for the margaritas.

You can use fresh or frozen to make this sauce – winning.

This sauce is similar to the homemade margarita mix that I gift for the holidays, find that recipe here.
