Sweetheart Cocktail

There are a couple of versions of this, but this is the one I like the most: It's a user-friendly version of Master Mixologist Julie Reiner's recipe at the Flatiron Lounge in NYC:

Ingredients Needed:

• 4 parts tequila (plata/silver preferred)
• 1 part strawberry liqueur or Bacardi Dragonberry Rum
• 1 part orange liquor (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
• 1 part fresh lime juice
• 1 part sour mix
• 4 parts muddled strawberries (fresh is better, but if the quality isn't there, go with the frozen ones)
• Lime wedge
• Ice
• Lime Tree Cove Chocolate Raspberry Cocktail Sugar  

Directions:

1. Mix Tequila, Rum, Triple Sec, Sour Mix, Lime Juice.
2. Add strawberries and pour over ice
3. Shake ingredients in a cocktail mixer or well-sealed container (you don't want to bathe yourself in strawberries - or maybe you do................)
4. Wet each glass rim with the lime, and then use your Barmaid Drink Rimmer to rim the glass with the Lime Tree Cove Chocolate Raspberry Cocktail Sugar   .

The cocoa notes of the rimming sugar join the strawberry and tequila in a luxurious marriage of flavor.
