A refreshing cocktail made with fresh strawberries and limes.
Combine the water, sugar and mint leaves in a small sauce pan. Place on the stove over medium high heat and bring to a rolling boil until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let sit for 20 minutes so the mint can infuse.
Strain the mint mixture into a pitcher and discard mint leaves. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and strawberries and blend with an immersion blender. Strain out any pulpy remains.
Add the Blanco Tequila, a splash of Grand Marnier and stir. Add more Grand Marnier to sweeten if desired. Top with ice, lime wedges and serve.

I really wanted to like this, but I just found it to have too many flavors going on. It was kind of a confusing mix between a mojito and a strawberry margarita…nothing very limeadey about it. I’ll try it again, but will definitely be skipping the mint!
