Strawberry Smoke Signal is a bright, fruit-forward tequila cocktail that blends orange juice and fresh lemon with a touch of strawberry syrup for a soft, vivid finish. Shaken and served over fresh ice, it is smooth, colorful, and lightly sweet, with enough citrus to keep it lively without turning too sharp.

- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1/2 oz strawberry syrup

Garnish

Origin
Strawberry Smoke Signal was created as an original tequila cocktail built around strawberry syrup and orange juice, with lemon added to keep the profile bright and balanced. The name reflects the drink’s vivid color and the way its fruit-forward sweetness rises over the bolder agave base.
Serving note
Best served very cold over fresh ice. This one drinks brighter and fruitier than it first sounds, with the tequila giving it structure while the strawberry softens the edges.
