Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor impact.

- For a stronger mint aroma, clap the mint leaves between your hands before muddling to release the oils.
- Use silver or blanco tequila for a cleaner, brighter flavor.
- This cocktail is best served chilled and immediately after preparation.
