Ingredients

My frozen strawberry margarita cocktail recipe only needs a few simple ingredients.

Frozen Strawberry Margarita Cocktail Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

  • Frozen Strawberries: We prefer using frozen because it is simpler to have on hand, and it gives you that perfect consistency of a frozen cocktail. You can use a combination of fresh strawberries and ice, but you will want to experiment with each to get the desired texture without watering down your drink.
  • Margarita Mix: Our homemade recipe is the perfect balance of that citrus-forward, tart lime flavor with a hint of sweetness creating the best margarita, but you can use a store-bought if preferred.
  • Silver Tequila: Also called Blanco, the staple alcohol used in any margarita, grab your favorite but always opt for quality tequila!
  • Triple Sec: An orange liqueur that offers a warm citrus note that perfectly balances the tart and acidity of lime juice.

For this easy frozen strawberry margarita recipe, you'll want to have on hand a high-powered blender, measuring cups, shot glasses and margarita glasses.

Substitutions and Variations

This fruity cocktail is perfect for personalization, here are some ideas to give you inspiration.

  • Tequila: Swap silver tequila any kind of tequila. You can try Reposado tequila if you prefer a smoother, slightly aged flavor, or Mezcal to offer a smoky profile.
  • Triple Sec: Substitute with Cointreau or Grand Marnier for a richer, orange-forward taste.
  • Strawberries: Use real strawberries with extra ice if frozen ones aren’t available. Alternatively, try other frozen fruit like mango, watermelon, pineapple, peach, blueberry, raspberry, or banana.
  • Margarita Mix: Replace with fresh lime juice and a splash of simple syrup for a homemade touch.
  • Non-Alcoholic Option: Omit the tequila and triple sec, replacing them with orange juice and extra lime juice for a refreshing frozen virgin margarita.

Add frozen strawberries, margarita mix, tequila and triple sec into a high-powered blender jar and run until smooth (note: thin as desired with additional margarita mix or water).

Pour into margarita glasses with some ice cubes for optional freshness. Garnish with extra lime wedges and fresh strawberries.

Hint: Using frozen strawberries helps create that perfect thick, slushy texture.

How to Serve a Frozen Strawberry Margarita Cocktail Recipe

Would you believe me if I said, frozen margaritas were best served cold?! Here are some tips to help you achieve the perfect cocktail.

  • Blended on Ice: While this recipe is obviously a slushy style blender drink, you still want to serve it on ice cubes to keep it colder longer.
  • Glass: A margarita glass is preferred for the long stem. This allows you to not add heat and melt the cocktail prematurely.
  • Garnishes: Fresh limes (sliced or wedged) is traditional, but you can mix it up and add a sliced strawberry too. if you use another type of fruit, use fresh berries to match.

What to Serve with our Strawberry Margarita Blender Recipe

  • Guacamole & Chips: A classic pairing that enhances the fresh lime and tequila flavors.
  • Pico de Gallo & Salsa Verde: Bright, tangy dips that complement the sweetness of the margarita.
  • Tacos: Try shrimp tacos, carne asada, or even jackfruit tacos for a delicious match.
  • Quesadillas: Cheese or chicken quesadillas make for a satisfying and cheesy pairing.
  • Grilled Skewers: Chicken, shrimp, or veggie skewers with a citrus marinade work wonderfully.
  • Coconut Mojitos: If you're serving multiple drinks, our refreshing coconut-based cocktail is another great choice.
  • Churros with Chocolate Sauce: A fun dessert pairing that contrasts the icy margarita with warm, cinnamon-sugar goodness.

Top Tips

We have a pool at our house for frozen drinks are a must! Here are some helpful hints to making the best frozen strawberry margarita recipe.

  • Blend Until Smooth: Make sure everything is fully blended to avoid chunks of ice or fruit.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste and add a little simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter margarita.
  • Layer the Fruit: Depending on how many you need to make, try a half batch of one fruit, and a half bath of another and layer them on top of each other.
  • Chill Your Glasses: A chilled glass helps keep your margarita cold for longer.
  • Salt or Sugar Rim: Choose between a traditional salted rim or a sugar rim for extra sweetness. I like to do a combination to mix things up!
