How to Make Strawberry Margaritas
Making your own frozen margarita’s at home is very easy to do. I have one of the best strawberry margarita recipes. I started by cutting the stems off of 16oz worth of fresh strawberries. Then I poured in the lime aid, white granulated sugar, tequila, and Cointreau.
Lastly, add in the ice and then it’s time to blend. You’ll want to let the strawberry margarita blend for at least 20 seconds to make sure it’s completely smooth.
How to Sugar a Rim
Before your ready to pour the frozen strawberry margaritas you’ll want to slice a wedge of lime in half and rub it around the rims of your glasses. Then flip the glass upside down and swirl it into the strawberry sugar.
I purchased this special sugar while we were visiting France 2 years ago. I save it for “special occasions”. I do know; however, that specialty food stores like Whole Foods carries the flavored sugars.
Once your glasses are prepped your ready to pour the frozen strawberry margaritas into the glasses. You’ll want to garnish with another lime wedge and a fresh strawberry.
FAQs
My blender batch of frozen strawberry margaritas makes enough to serve four adults give or take.
If you are making a frozen margarita from scratch you will need lime juice, strawberries if making a strawberry margarita, Cointreau, and lime juice or limeaid as well as agave or simple syrup.
Too much fruit and too much ice gives a very watery margarita. Stick with my measurements of 2 cups of ice max for this recipe.
I like to use either Silver Tequila or Blanco. On occasion I will use Reposado. These three different types of tequila all represent how long they were aged. Silver is aged the least and is the most commonly used in margaritas.
Tips & Tricks
Here are all my favorite tips and tricks whenever I make strawberry frozen margaritas.
- Strawberries – Instead of fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries. If you do this I would lessen the amount of ice used to ensure you don’t have watery margaritas. I would only use 1 cup of ice.
- Sweetener – If you are looking for a sweeter margarita you can add 2-3 tablespoons agave syrup or simple syrup to the blender before blending.
- Rim – If you don’t like sugar on your rim you can use coarse salt instead.
