How to Make a Frozen Strawberry Margarita Cocktail

Wondering how to prepare a homemade frozen Strawberry Margarita? This cocktail is ideal for enjoying on sunny days or balmy summer evenings, so here’s a straightforward frozen Strawberry Margarita recipe:

Making a fresh frozen Strawberry Margarita is as easy as blending frozen strawberries with a few cups of crushed ice.

Tip: We’d suggest adding an extra measure of tequila to frozen margaritas as the ice will dilute the drink. Taste as you go along and adjust to your liking.

Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Margarita Recipe

The Strawberry Margarita is certainly a lovely recipe to cool down on hot days, but if you want to transform it into a premium cocktail, simply follow these straightforward steps:

• Enhance your cocktail with a salt rim. This is down to personal preference and entirely your choice. Use salt, sugar (or a combination of the two), or Margarita mix.
• How to rim your glass. Run a lime wedge around the upper outer edge of your glasses. Dip it into the Margarita salt mixture and set aside.
• Adjust to your liking. Making your own drinks gives you complete control over the flavour profile. Fancy it stronger? Add more tequila. Prefer your Strawberry Margarita drink a touch sweeter? Add more honey. A single batch of this recipe yields approximately 4-5 Strawberry Margarita cocktails. Feel free to adjust the quantity of ingredients up or down to achieve the desired number of servings.
• Prepare these Strawberry Margaritas in advance. To make the Margarita ahead of time, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Store in the fridge for up to one day if serving on the rocks, or in the freezer if serving frozen.

What Tequila is Best For Strawberry Lime with Tequila Cocktail?

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

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

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

Variations for Strawberry Cocktails with Tequila

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

• Can’t find any fresh strawberries? Use frozen ones instead. Defrost to make the on-the-rocks version.
  
• Serving this Strawberry Margarita fusion frozen? It’s best to use frozen strawberries rather than fresh ones to make the cocktail exceptionally slushy without adding excessive ice and risking watering down the flavour.
  
• Serving on the rocks? For an ideal fresh Strawberry Margarita with the least dilution possible, use the largest ice cubes you can find.
  
• Spice it up! You might be surprised to discover that adding a touch of heat to strawberries enhances their flavour. Pepper reduces the tartness of strawberries whilst also bringing out their sweetness, practically transforming them into sweets. Additionally, it adds a delicious, moderately spicy aftertaste to the cocktail.
  
• Don’t have any honey? You can use agave syrup, simple syrup, caster sugar or homemade strawberry syrup.

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