Wash and pat dry the fresh strawberries.

Remove the calyx (green leafy parts) from the strawberries.

Slice the strawberries into pieces (no need for uniform size).

Place the sliced strawberries in a saucepan.

Add sugar and water to the saucepan with strawberries.

Simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes until strawberries soften and a syrupy consistency is achieved.

Blend the mixture for 15 to 20 seconds until smooth (can also use a food processor).

Strain the blended strawberry puree through a strainer to discard the pulp, leaving a smooth syrup.

Rub a lime around the rim of each glass to prepare for salting.

Dip the rim of each glass into kosher salt to coat it.

Grab a cocktail shaker and add tequila, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, and the freshly made strawberry syrup.

Cover the shaker securely and shake vigorously to combine all ingredients.

Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses and garnish with fresh strawberries.
