Frozen Strawberry Margarita: A Fruity Treat

How do you begin preparing a strawberry margarita?

Fancy margaritas but looking to add a fruity twist? Try a Frozen Strawberry Margarita. This brilliant cocktail strikes just the right balance—neither overly sweet nor too tart. The texture is spot-on: it’s not watery or thin, which would be utterly disappointing.

To make it properly, we’d recommend using Olmeca Altos Plata, a top-quality tequila that enhances the strawberry flavour whilst bringing a more authentic, smooth profile to the cocktail.

Whether you’re mixing drinks for two or hosting a larger gathering later on, this is a cracking cocktail option you’ll want to master and keep up your sleeve! Bookmark this recipe for Cinco de Mayo or your next sweltering afternoon.

How to Salt the Rim of Your Frozen Strawberry Margarita

If you’d like to add a bit of flair to this Blended Strawberry Margarita recipe, grind together coarse salt with dehydrated strawberries for the rim. It adds a splash of colour and flavour to both the drink and the glass.

To salt the rims of your glasses, you need to:

1. Pour salt onto a plate slightly larger than your glasses.
2. Take a lime slice and rub it around the rims of the glasses and gently press or roll the glasses at an angle to coat.

Tips for Making the Best Frozen Strawberry Margarita Recipe

Make the best Blended Strawberry Margarita using these helpful tips:

• Make ahead of time: Prepare the Margarita mix a day ahead and freeze it. The alcohol prevents the Margarita from freezing completely, so it remains in a slushy form. Just give it a quick blitz shortly before serving.
• Turn this recipe into a pitcher drink: Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed for a larger crowd.
• Blend to your desired consistency: Add more ice for a thicker drink and less for a lighter one. If you want it less icy, continue blending for a smoother, juice-like texture.
• Fresh strawberries? Use the same amount as indicated in the recipe, but add 1 cup of ice cubes as well.
• Add some bubbles: For a fizzy twist, add a splash of sparkling fruit juice or clear soda to the mix before serving.
• Don’t forget the rim: A salted or sugared rim adds to both the beauty and complexity of the drink. If you’re unsure, try rimming just half the glass for a taste of both options.
• Make it even sweeter: Sweeten with simple syrup, honey, or agave. To make simple syrup, boil equal parts water and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

Variations of the Frozen Strawberry Margarita Recipe

Once you have tried the classic version, you can have fun with these best Strawberry Margarita recipes:

• Create a custom Margarita: Strawberry pairs well with banana, blueberry, mango, peach, pineapple, and raspberry.
• Use homemade strawberry syrup: Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Once all the sugar has dissolved, add 2 cups of quartered strawberries and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Simmer for another 10 minutes, remove from heat, cool to room temperature, strain, and refrigerate.
• Cut back on the alcohol: If this recipe is too boozy for you, try 1 ounce of tequila, ½ ounce triple sec, and lime juice.
• Make a mocktail: Make this Frozen Strawberry Margarita mix non-alcoholic by replacing the tequila with soda or orange juice before blending.

100% Agave Tequila for Your Frozen Strawberry Margarita Mix

This Frozen Strawberry Margarita is absolutely delicious. It’s one of those cocktails where you know you’re going to make another batch as soon as you’ve finished the last sip. Each one is wonderfully smooth, bursting with vibrant strawberry flavour, and with just a hint of tequila.

Speaking of tequila, make this easy Frozen Strawberry Margarita with our Olmeca Altos Blanco (unaged tequila). The delicate flavours of a Reposado or Añejo will be lost in this frozen cocktail and may clash with the strawberry flavour.

Altos Plata Tequila is perhaps the bartenders’ favourite tequila for margaritas. It’s a smooth 100% agave tequila that highlights the pure expression of agave. With an herbaceous taste and a spicy, warm finish, the flavour is well-balanced and wonderfully complements the freshly squeezed lime juice.
