Ingredients Needed
- Fresh Strawberries or Frozen Strawberries
- Tequila – I’m using Codigo Blanco Tequila, Patron Silver or Jose Cuervo are also great.
- Triple Sec or Grand Marnier orange liqueur
- Simple Syrup
- Lime Juice
- Coarse Salt for garnish – Kosher salt or flake salt will work.
- Lime Zest for Garnish
- Fresh Limes for Garnish
- Fresh Strawberries for Garnish
How to Make a Strawberry Margarita
- Add sliced strawberries, tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice and simple syrup to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Garnish the Glass: Run a lime slice around the rim of the glass and dip in coarse salt. Add a bit of lime zest to your salt for a little extra zing.
- Fill glasses with ice and then add the blended strawberry margarita.
- Garnish with a fresh berries and a lime wedge.
Frozen Strawberry Margarita Directions
- Use frozen strawberries that are slightly thawed or add ice to the blender with the strawberries, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup.
- If you use sweetened frozen strawberries, you can skip the simple syrup.
How to Make Simple Syrup
Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water. Heat water almost to boiling and stir in sugar. Allow mixture to cool before using for drinks. Store in a mason jar for up to 3 weeks.
What’s the Difference between a Strawberry Margarita and a Strawberry Daiquiri?
Both cocktails are made with strawberries and lime and are blended. Margaritas are made with tequila and daiquiris are made with rum. Both are delicious! This Strawberry Daiquiri is one of our most popular drinks.
Large Batch Margaritas
- Sometimes you need a big batch of Margaritas to serve a crowd. No one likes to play bartender for the entire party. This recipe serves two just double as needed.
- Blend strawberries, lime juice and simple syrup together and then stir in tequila and triple sec when you stir it into the pitcher.

Easy Appetizers to Serve with Margaritas
If you are hosting a party, appetizers are a must. Here are some of my favorites that go great with Margaritas.
Roasted Garlic Guacamole or Pineapple Guacamole are the classic appetizer served with tortilla chips and these Brisket Taquitos are the perfect hand- held appetizer for any Tex-Mex fiesta. Go with this Southern Fried Shrimp for something special.
A while back my sister in law told me about Codigo 1530 Tequila and they were nice enough to send over a few bottles for me to try. The Codigo 1530 Blanco was perfect in these Strawberry Margaritas!
Give me a plate of Brisket Tacos and a Strawberry Margarita and I am pretty happy. Enjoy these easy cocktails on your next taco night or make a batch of them and pop them in the freezer. Perfect to have on hand when you are ready for a tasty drink recipe.
