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.

This recipe was featured as part of our Margarita Recipes slideshow.

Watch the CHOW Test Kitchen’s Christine Gallary make these delicious frozen strawberry margaritas in an episode of our Easiest Way series.

    These were great and a really big hit. How about a video and recipe for pina coladas next?

    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.
