- 1 cup strawberries (chopped)
- 1/3 cup sugar or honey
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 -1/2 cup tequila (I used 1/3 cup, use lemon-lime soda or lime-aid for a non-alcoholic version)
- 2 tablespoons cointreau (use orange juice for a non-alcoholic version)
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (only use 1-2 tablespoons if making the non-alcoholic version)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar or honey
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 -1/2 cup tequila (again (I used 1/3 cup) (lemon-lime soda or lime-aid for a non-alcoholic version))
- 2 tablespoons cointreau (use orange juice for a non-alcoholic version)
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (only use 1-2 tablespoons if making the non-alcoholic version)
- salt (for the rims)
- 2 -3 scoops per person of vanilla coconut ice cream or regular vanilla bean ice cream
- lemon-lime soda water
- fresh strawberries + blueberries
Steps
Combine the strawberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into a blender. Puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pushing the juices out of the strawberries. Pour the mixture into a small juice jug and add the tequila (or lemon-lime soda), cointreau (or orange juice) and fresh lime juice. Cover and refrigerate until cold or until ready to use.
Combine the blueberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into a blender. Puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pushing the juices out of the blueberries. Pour the mixture into a small juice jug and add the tequila (or lemon-lime soda), cointreau (or orange juice) and fresh lime juice. Cover and refrigerate until cold or until ready to use.
To make the floats layer 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry margarita with a few fresh berries, 1 scoop of ice cream and 1-2 tablespoons blueberry margarita until your glass is almost full (but leave a little room at the top). Pour the soda water over top until it reaches the lip of the glass. ENJOY!
