Ingredients

Strawberries-Ripe and sweet strawberries will be the best for muddling. I prefer fresh strawberries, but frozen will work as well.
Tequila- Make sure to choose a good quality tequila that you love to sip on. A light Reposado Tequila is always a great choice when mixing.
Lemon- Fresh squeezed lemon juice only. If you use a bottled lemon juice it will change the flavor of the cocktail.
Simple Syrup- A small dash of sweetener enhances the strawberry flavor. Store-Bought or Homemade Simple Syrup is great, agave syrup or even honey.
Rośe Wine-Sparkling Rośe will be the finishing touch for this fruity cocktail. I prefer a Rośe that is not overly sweet

Step-by-Step Directions

• In a cocktail glass, muddle the strawberries until the juice is extracted and the strawberries are mashed
• Combine the tequila, lemon juice and simple syrup over the muddled strawberries and gently stir
• Top off with sparkling rose, stir and serve 
• Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries

Tips To Make The Best Strawberry Spritz

Use Ripe Fruit
When you are muddling fruit for a cocktail, you always want to be sure that the fruit is ripe and slightly soft so that the juice can easily be extracted and they will add sweetness to the cocktail.

Good Quality Tequila
Make sure to always use good quality tequila that you enjoy sipping on! Tequila is also a low calorie liquor that is so versatile in so many different mixed drinks because of the neutral flavor and no added sugar. I love a Reposado Tequila because it has a very smooth flavor a little vanilla flavor.
