Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Margarita Recipe

The Strawberry Margarita is certainly a great recipe to cool down on 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 salt, sugar (or a mix of the two), or a 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 own drinks gives you complete control over the flavour profile. Want it stronger? Add more tequila. Prefer your Strawberry Margarita a little sweeter? Add more honey.
  • Make these Strawberry Margaritas ahead of time. To prepare the Margarita ahead of time, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

What Tequila is the Best for a Strawberry Margarita 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 spirit directly impacts the cocktail’s flavour. Look for a mid-range tequila, preferably one that is 100% agave.
  • Blanco or Reposado: Margaritas made with reposado tequila are richer and more complex due to the aged tequila.

For this delicious, frosty Margarita, we recommend tequila blanco! Strawberries have a lot of flavour and texture, so they require less nuance in the recipe.

Variations for Strawberry Cocktails with Tequila

Once you’ve mastered the classic recipe, you can also explore other versions of the cocktail:

  • Can’t find any fresh strawberries? Use frozen ones instead. Thaw them for the on-the-rocks version.
  • Serving this Strawberry Margarita frozen? It’s best to use frozen strawberries rather than fresh ones to make the cocktail wonderfully slushy without adding too much ice and diluting the flavour.
  • Serving on the rocks? For the best fresh Strawberry Margarita with minimal dilution, use the largest ice cubes you can find.
  • Spice it up! You might be surprised to learn that adding a touch of heat to strawberries enhances their flavour. Pepper softens the sharpness of strawberries and brings out their sweetness, almost turning them into candy. It also adds a delicious, mildly spicy aftertaste to the cocktail.
  • No honey? You can substitute with agave syrup, simple syrup, granulated sugar, or homemade strawberry syrup.

Strawberry Syrup DIY Recipe

  1. Add 1 ½ cups of sliced strawberries and 4 cups of water to a saucepan and bring the mix to a boil.
  2. Lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  3. Skim off any foam that forms on the top.
  4. Strain the strawberry liquid and discard the solids.
  5. Add 2 cups of sugar and bring it back to a boil for about 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  6. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  7. Pour into an airtight glass container and refrigerate (should last for a few weeks).

Use the syrup in this Strawberry Margarita recipe, add it to mocktails, or drizzle it over pancakes and waffles!
