What You Need to Make a Frozen Strawberry Margarita
- Strawberries - you'll need 4-5 fresh strawberries, hulled and halved.
- Ice - ice cubes are needed to give the cold drink its slushy texture.
- Tequila - a tiny airplane-sized bottle of Patron Silver Tequila is perfect.
- Triple Sec - you'll just need 2 standard shots of triple sec to give the margarita that classic citrusy flavor.
- Sugar - for a touch of sweetness.
- Lime Juice - use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Salt - a pinch of salt cuts the sweetness and creates a delicious contrast to the sweeter flavors.
How to Make This Frozen Strawberry Margarita Recipe
- Blend the strawberries, ice cubes, tequila, triple sec, sugar, lime juice, and salt in a blender.
- Pour into a salt-rimmed glass, garnish with a lime wedge, and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- For the salted rim, squeeze a little bit of lime juice into a shallow bowl and add a little bit of salt into a separate shallow bowl. Dip the rim of the glass first into the lime juice, followed by the salt, then it's good to go!
- Make more! Double or triple the recipe you want. Whatever you can comfortably fit in the blender will work.
- Use other fruit. Make this into whatever kind of fruit margarita you want. Try mango, raspberry, blueberry – you name it.
- For added sweetness, use a sugar rim instead!
- Add a teaspoon of orange extract for an extra citrusy flavor!
- Use more or less ice, depending on how thick or thin you prefer your homemade margaritas to be!
Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, which we highly doubt, place them in the freezer and blend them when ready to serve!

Recipe FAQs
This single-serving frozen margarita contains just 2 teaspoons of sugar. We like adding a little bit to give it a little sweetness. You can totally add more or less to taste! If you'd rather not use sugar, add a drizzle of agave syrup or leave it out entirely.
Totally! Just blend it all up ahead of time and store it in the freezer. The alcohol will prevent it from freezing fully, and it will become even more slushy-like. When you're ready to serve, simply blend it again to give it a little refresh, and enjoy!
Absolutely! Just remove the alcohol, and you've got yourself an alcohol-free fruity cocktail!
Use a food processor to blend your frozen margarita mixture instead!
Absolutely! It totally depends on your personal preference.
Of course! If you don't prefer the frozen version, skip the blender and make an on-the-rocks margarita!
Yes! Although fresh berries give this delicious frozen cocktail the perfect flavor, you can totally use frozen strawberries if that's all you have!
Although we prefer fresh limes in this recipe, you can use premade lime juice instead!
