Directions
Prepare the Raspberry Puree:
If using fresh raspberries, simply blend them until smooth. If using frozen, allow them to thaw before blending. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.
Mix the Margarita:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, raspberry puree, and simple syrup.
Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Shake It Up:
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain and Serve:
If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. If not, pour it directly into your glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge and fresh raspberries.
Enjoy:
Sip and enjoy the refreshing flavors of your homemade Raspberry Lime Margarita!
