Ingredients
- 1 lime
- 1 handful of mint leaves
- 1/2 cup rhubarb, chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces tequila
- 2-3 dashes orange bitters
- Salt, for rimming the glass

Instructions
- Combine 1 cup of water with juice from 1 lime (about 3 tablespoons) and lime zest, then pour into an ice cube tray. Add a few mint leaves to each cube and freeze.
- In a saucepan, mix 1 cup of water, sugar, strawberries, rhubarb, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the rhubarb breaks down, stirring occasionally. Strain and allow to cool. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the syrup (if it's less, add a bit of water).
- For each margarita, stir together 3 ounces of the strawberry rhubarb syrup, 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of lime juice, and a few dashes of orange bitters.
- Serve the margarita in a salt-rimmed glass over the lime-infused ice cubes.
