Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries stems removed
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 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)
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar into the water, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.
- Pour your tequila mix into your strawberries 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.
