Rhubarb Strawberry Margarita


How come there aren't more jam cocktails? Mixing jam and booze is possibly the best more underrated idea ever. May I present you the easiest spring margarita of all time - the Rhubarb Strawberry Margarita.  


The cool thing about this recipe is you could switch out almost any jam for the Quick Rhubarb Strawberry Jam and have a killer cocktail. Just strawberry jam? Strawberry Margarita! Peach jelly? Peach Margarita!


Rhubarb Strawberry Margarita 
yield 4 cocktails 

salt
crushed ice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup cointreau
1 cup tequila


Rim 4 rocks glasses with either an extra strawberry or lime wedge and dip in a bit of salt. Fill the glasses with crushed ice and set aside. 

Stir together the jam, lime juice, cointreau, and tequila in a large pitcher breaking up the jam as much as possible. Add the ice, stir and pour into prepared glasses.
