Strawberry Margarita Recipe

Strawberry Margarita
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: | Makes: About 6 (8-ounce) drinks

Frozen margaritas dispensed from churning machines usually taste like syrupy convenience store slushies with a shot of bottom-shelf tequila thrown in. Our recipe blends real strawberries, quality tequila, simple syrup, fresh-squeezed lime juice, triple sec, ice, and a touch of salt to really bring out all the flavors. In just a few minutes you’ll have a fresh-tasting, balanced pitcher of frozen margaritas that can serve a Cinco de Mayo crowd or your backyard barbecue.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen strawberries
  • 8 ounces silver (blanco), 100 percent agave tequila
  • 6 ounces Simple Syrup
  • 4 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 8 medium limes)
  • 2 ounces triple sec orange liqueur, preferably Luxardo Triplum or Cointreau
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
  • 3 cups ice
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all of the ingredients except the ice in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Add the ice, pushing it into the bottom of the pitcher, and blend on high until smooth. Serve immediately.

    Agave is a great sub for simple sugar syrup. It is sweeter than sugar, so you need less. Just mix before adding the frozen strawberries (or ice in other cocktails) because it hardens.

    However, if you're in a hurry or financially embarrassed, you can skip the cointreau altogether, and with all that strawberriness in there you could use any tequila you have- you're not going to taste the difference and you can save some money. Cuervo white or gold is perfectly good in this. I wouldn't use that much ice, either- it dilutes it too much. Agave syrup is a good substitute for simple syrup, by the way.
