Cocktail Strawberry margarita

Description

The Strawberry Margarita is a variation of the classic tequila alcoholic mix, which also includes lime juice and liquor. There are several versions of the origin of the drink, and it is difficult to say which one is reliable. There is a romantic one, according to which a certain bartender came up with a recipe and named it after a friend who died in a shootout. There is a curious version that explains the appearance of the drink as a result of an error in the ordered cocktail. But many still tend to a more realistic option: the traditional "Margarita" was invented in Mexico, in the 40-50s of the XX century, and intentionally - in order to expand the bar menu. The strawberry version of this cocktail, perfect for a summer evening, also has the right to exist: the drink is refreshing, tasty and very fragrant.
