Strawberry Margaritas

4 oz pureed strawberries
2 oz tequila
2 oz Grand Marnier
1 tbsp fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
1 tbsp sugar

Blend with ice.

This worked out a little sweeter than I'd like, but Laurie really appreciated it.

Kiwi Margaritas

These turned out OK, but I noticed as I blended the kiwis that at low speeds the seeds stayed intact, and at higher speeds they started to blend. So, it started off as a bright green mix with dark black seeds but ended up a light brown mix with darker brown flecks in it. I also think this gave the drink a slightly woody flavor. Next time I'll try just blending on low speed the entire time.

4 ounces pureed kiwis (about 2 kiwis)
2 ounces tequila
2 ounces grand marnier
2 tsp Rose's lime juice

Next time, try less lime juice. Zero is definitely the wrong amount, but I think maybe 1 tsp would be right.
