How to make strawberry margarita
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen strawberries)
- 2 oz (60 ml) tequila
- 1 oz (30 ml) triple sec (such as Cointreau)
- 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Sugar (for rimming the glass, optional)
- Lime wedges and whole strawberries for garnish
Directions:
First, rinse the strawberries and remove the stems. Cut them in halves if they’re large for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Add a generous handful of ice to give it a slushy, refreshing texture.
Blend everything on high speed until smooth.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if needed.
If you like a sugar-rimmed glass, rub a lime wedge around the rim, then dip it in sugar.
Pour the blended margarita into prepared glasses.
Garnish with a whole strawberry or a lime wedge for a tropical touch.
How to Serve Strawberry Margarita
Serve this cocktail ice-cold in a sugar-rimmed glass with a fun garnish. It pairs perfectly with spicy appetizers like tacos, guacamole, or salsa. It’s a great drink for poolside lounging or festive celebrations.
How to Store Strawberry Margarita

Tips to Make the Perfect Strawberry Margarita
