Which texture do we prefer? Well, we like it both ways! Personally I like it a little warmer so I can taste the sweet berries and edge of the tequila. But keep it icy and it’s a perfect summer cocktail for a hot afternoon on the patio. Why we love this recipe: The margarita pairs perfectly with fruit, and we’ve already got several fruity margarita recipes under our belt, like watermelon, mango and peach. But the strawberry margarita is our favorite! We’re 100% in love with its vibrant red color and sweet tart flavor.
Frozen strawberries Tequila (use blanco or reposado) Cointreau or Triple Sec Fresh lime juice Agave syrup or simple syrup Ice
Icy texture: Keep it frozen for a smoothie-like texture by blending just until it’s fully integrated and icy. Juicy texture: If you keep blending for a few minutes, you can get to a texture that’s more like juice. It’s still cold, but you can taste the flavors even more when it’s not as icy.

Buy at least mid-range tequila. This cocktail tastes only as good as the quality of alcohol. Look for 750 ml bottles in the range of $22 to $35. Tequila blanco or reposado works, but fruity margaritas are best with tequila blanco. We love the nuance that comes with using tequila reposado (aged) in margaritas. But for this fruity margarita with an icy texture, you can use tequila blanco! Some brands we recommend are Espolon Blanco, El Tesoro Blanco, Patrón Silver, and Casamigos.
The advantage of using frozen berries is the icy texture, kind of like a strawberry daiquiri but not as thick. Frozen berries are also very easy to store, making it simple to whip up strawberry margaritas on demand!
Go simple with a classic margarita recipe, frozen margarita, Patron margarita, or agave margarita. Step it up with a Mezcal margarita, beer margarita, jalapeno margarita, or Cadillac margarita. Go fruity with a pineapple margarita, strawberry margarita, or mango margarita. Make unique margaritas like a jalapeno margarita, Italian margarita, or blue margarita. Skip the booze for a virgin margarita.
Frequently asked questions
5 from 2 reviews For a sweet margarita: Add make it with double the simple syrup or maple syrup, and add more to taste if desired. For other fruit variations: Replace half of the frozen strawberries with frozen mangoes, peaches, or pineapple for different flavor combinations. Adjust the sweetener to taste. For a spicy margarita: Remove the seeds from ¼ jalapeño pepper and roughly chop it. Add it to the blender and blend. Rim variations: Try margarita salt or a Tajín rim, a Mexican seasoning blend of chili peppers, lime, and salt that adds a burst of tangy, spicy flavor.
