We know what to do when life gives us lemons. But when it throws us some strawberries, grab your blender and mix up a batch of this sublimely sweet and simple Strawberry Margarita! It requires only four ingredients and is perfect for Cinco De Mayo or a summer day.
For something a little more fruity than a classic margarita, this frozen strawberry margarita is the perfect amount of sweet, boozy, and refreshing! It comes together in minutes and will be a recipe you’ll want to keep handy all summer long.
Strawberry Frozen Margarita Ingredients
This crowd-pleasing cocktail comes together with just a few ingredients. My homemade Sweet and Sour Mix blends beautifully with the sweet strawberries while the kick of tequila doesn’t let you forget it’s a margarita. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Sweet and Sour Mix: It’s quick to whip up and can be used in dozens of delicious recipes.
- Tequila: Good quality tequila is key to making a really great batch of margaritas. Choose a tequila that is labeled 100% agave which means it is pure tequila.
- Triple sec: The orange-flavored liqueur is also a key ingredient in margaritas. Cointreau can also be used for a higher-quality liqueur.
- Frozen strawberries: If you have fresh berries on hand, by all means toss them in! Just add a few ice cubes for a frozen texture.

Rimming Your Glasses
Rim your glasses with sugar before mixing up your cocktail. First, dip the rim of the glass in a shallow plate of corn syrup. Then dip the rim into a shallow plate of sugar. Set aside until the cocktail is ready to serve.
How to Serve
Since this drink is frozen, its best to serve immediately. The sugared rim provides a little extra sweetness with each sip and a fresh strawberry makes the perfect garnish and compliments the beautiful red hue of the cocktail. If you want your margarita a little sweeter, add a splash of simple syrup.
Strawberry Margarita on The Rocks
To make this margarita on the rocks instead of frozen, simply use fresh strawberries instead of frozen. Blend until smooth and add to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a prepared glass with ice. Enjoy a fresh strawberry margarita on the rocks!
