Strawberry Margarita Recipe (Fresh & Frozen)
Sipping strawberry margaritas is synonymous with sitting on a tropical beach on holidays somewhere in the world, while the waves lap at the shore, light breeze blowing through the coconut palms. Take yourself there with our strawberry margarita recipe.
Equipment
- Blender
- Margarita glass or coupe glass
- Citrus Juicer
- Small shallow plate (for salt rim)
- Jigger or measuring cup
Ingredients
- 2 floz silver/blanco tequila
- ½ floz triple sec
- ½ cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 1 floz fresh lime juice about 2 limes
- ½ floz simple syrup 1:1 sugar to water
- 1 cup ice
- as needed coarse salt for rimming the glass
Instructions
- Wet the rim of your Margarita or cocktail glass and then dip in salt to coat the rim of the glass with salt.
- Add 1 cup of ice to your blender.
- Add the tequila, triple sec, strawberries, lime juice, and simple syrup to the blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and slushy with no ice chunks remaining.
- Pour into your salt-rimmed margarita or cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim or a fresh strawberry. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make-ahead tip: Pre-measure the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and sugar syrup into a jar and refrigerate for up to 24 hours — just add strawberries and ice when ready to blend.
- Batch it: Multiply all ingredients by your guest count, blend in batches of 4 servings maximum to keep the texture slushy and even.
- Frozen strawberries work beautifully here and make the drink even icier — no need to add as much ice if using frozen berries.
- For a virgin version, replace the tequila and triple sec with 3 floz of orange juice and an extra splash of lime.
- Pro tip: Blend on high for a full 30-45 seconds until completely smooth — stopping too early leaves icy chunks that block your straw.
