1
Prepare the Strawberries
Hull and slice the strawberries. Set aside a few slices for garnish.
2
Make the Simple Syrup (optional)
If you prefer a sweeter drink, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar is dissolved, then let cool.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the sliced strawberries, tequila, Aperol, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
4
Muddle
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, mash the strawberries into the liquid to release their juices.
5
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.

6
Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip it into coarse sea salt to coat the rim.
7
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with remaining strawberry slices and a lime wedge.
