How to Make a Frozen Strawberry Margarita Cocktail

Are you wondering how to make a homemade frozen Strawberry Margarita? This cocktail is perfect to drink on sunny days or warm summer nights, so here is an easy frozen Strawberry Margarita recipe:

To make fresh frozen Strawberry Margarita, is as simple as combining frozen strawberries with a couple cups of crushed ice in a blender.

Tip: We recommend adding an extra shot of tequila to frozen margaritas because the ice will dilute the drink. Taste as you go and adjust to suit your preference.

Tips for Marking the Best Strawberry Margarita Recipe

The Strawberry Margarita is certainly a nice recipe to cool down hot days, but if you want to elevate it to a premium cocktail just follow these simple steps:

  • Elevate your cocktail with a salt rim. This is a personal preference and entirely up to you. Use a salt, sugar (or a mix of the two), or Margarita mix.
  • How to rim your glass. Run a lime wedge around the upper outer rim of your glasses. Roll it into the Margarita salt mixture and set aside.
  • Adjust to your preference. Making your drinks gives you complete control over the flavor profile. Like it double? Add more tequila. Prefer your Strawberry Margarita drink a little sweeter? Add more honey. A single batch of this recipe yields about 4-5 Strawberry Margarita cocktails. Feel free to adjust the number of ingredients up or down to make the desired number of servings.
  • Make these Strawberry Margaritas ahead of time. To make the Margarita ahead of time, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for up to one day if serving on the rocks, or in the freezer if serving frozen.

What Tequila is the Best For Strawberry Margaritas Cocktail?

This Strawberry Margarita recipe can be made with any tequila you like, but keep these things in mind:

  • Invest in a decent bottle of tequila: The quality of the booze determines the cocktail’s flavor. That said, look for a mid-range tequila, preferably one that is 100% agave.
  • Blanco or Reposado: whichever works for you: Margaritas made with reposado tequila are richer and more complex due to the addition of aged tequila.

For this delicious and frosty Margarita, we suggest Olmeca Altos Plata if you prefer a silver tequila, or Olmeca Altos Reposado if you’re looking for something more refined. Strawberries bring plenty of flavor and texture to the mix, which means the recipe doesn’t need as much complexity.

Variations for Strawberry Cocktails with Tequila

Once you master the classic recipe, you can also opt for other versions of the cocktail:

  • Can’t find any fresh strawberries? Use them frozen instead. Thaw to make on the rock version.
  • Serving this Strawberry Margarita fusion frozen? It’s best to use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones to make the cocktail exceptionally slushy without adding excessive ice and risk watering down the flavor.
  • Serving on the rocks? For an ideal fresh Strawberry Margarita with the least dilution possible, use the biggest ice cubes you can find.
  • Spice it up! You may be surprised to learn that adding a hint of heat to strawberries improves their flavor. Pepper reduces the harshness of strawberries while also bringing out their sweetness, practically turning them into candy. Additionally, it imparts a delicious, moderately spicy aftertaste to the cocktail.
  • Don’t have any honey? You can use agave syrup, simple syrup, granulated sugar or homemade strawberry syrup.

If you’d rather skip the prep work, keep in mind that Olmeca Altos has you covered. Give our ready-to-pour Olmeca Altos Strawberry a try and enjoy the experience.

Your Questions Answered Margaritas

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Of course. Altos steps up in any mix — Palomas, Tequila Sunrises, even an Old Fashioned if you’re in the mood to experiment. If it pours, Altos fits.

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t your average tequila — it’s the real thing. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s highlands, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and created by bartenders who get it. Smooth, bold, and made to mix right.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

Any way you want. It’s a winner in a Margarita or Paloma, but it also shines straight up if you’re all about flavour. Whatever the moment, Altos always sets the tone.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Absolutely — we’re serious about sustainability. We recycle agave fibers, reuse water, and cut down on waste wherever we can. Great tequila, zero guilt.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s crisp and lively, Reposado’s smooth and rounded, and Añejo’s bold, rich, and full of depth. Three styles, one unmistakable Altos spirit.
