Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Fresh Strawberries: Choose ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor; they should be bright red with no white spots.
Blue Curaçao: This vibrant liqueur adds a beautiful blue hue and a sweet orange flavor to your drink.
Patron Tequila: Use high-quality tequila for a smoother finish; silver tequila works best in cocktails.
