Strawberry margarita...is there really a better summer cocktail? To impress your guest with this fresh and fruity drink, check out this recipe for the slushy favorite. Makes 5 servings.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 5 ounces strawberries, frozen (fresh or prepackaged)
  • 5 ounces strawberry juice concentrate, frozen (or other flavor mixture as desired)
  • Ice
  • 5 ounces white or gold tequila
  • 2 ounces triple sec
  • Powdered sugar or salt
  • Wedge of lime
  1. Step 1

    Add frozen ingredients to a blender. This includes 5 ounces of frozen strawberries, 5 ounces of strawberry (or other as chosen) juice concentrate and a handful of ice.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in the liquor--5 ounces of white or gold tequila and 2 ounces of triple sec.

  3. Step 3

    Put the top on the blender and "puree." If your blender does not have this option, simply blend on high until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. Set aside for a minute.

  4. Step 4

    Take a margarita glass and trace the rim with a wedge of lime.

  5. Step 5

    Pour powdered sugar or salt (depending on whether you prefer sweet or salty) out on a paper plate or paper towel until it forms a thin layer.

  6. Step 6

    Turn the glasses over into the mixture so that the rims touch the salt or sugar. Pick them each up one at a time at tap them to remove the excess, then turn them right-side up.

  7. Step 7

    Pour your blended margarita into the glass carefully, being careful not to hit the sides and remove the salt or sugar.

  8. Step 8

    Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings
  • If you prefer garnish on your drinks, add a wedge of lime or a whole strawberry, skewered, for flair.
  • When strawberries aren't in season, this drink may be a bit sour. Add sugar or a sugar subsititute to sweeten it up.
  • This recipe may be too strong or weak, depending on your taste. Taste the margarita before pouring and add liqour or strawberries as needed.
