Description
A simple, no-melt frozen strawberry margarita made with just five ingredients. This recipe uses frozen fruit for a thick, slushy texture that doesn’t water down, making it the perfect easy-to-make summer party drink.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
- 1.5 cups (360ml) 100% agave blanco tequila
- 0.5 cup (120ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.5 cup (120ml) orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 0.25 cup (60ml) simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- Coarse kosher salt (for rimming glasses)
- Lime wedges (for rimming and garnish)
- Fresh strawberry slices (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Let frozen strawberries sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, preventing blender damage.
- Rim margarita or highball glasses by running a lime wedge around the edge and dipping into coarse kosher salt. Set aside.
- Add frozen strawberries, tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on low speed to break up fruit, then increase to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds until smooth and slushy.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup or tartness with more lime juice if needed.
- Pour immediately into prepared glasses and serve.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or lime wheels if desired.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries, not fresh, to ensure a thick texture that doesn’t water down. If using fresh strawberries, freeze them for at least 4 hours beforehand. Let frozen strawberries thaw slightly (10 mins) before blending to protect blender blades. For parties, you can make a batch ahead of time and store it in the freezer for 1-2 hours until slushy, then pour. Do not freeze solid. If the drink is too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice. If too watery, add more frozen strawberries.
