Say hello to the best Strawberry Margaritas made with fresh, ripe, juicy strawberries! These “frozen” Strawberry Margaritas are light and refreshing and go down a little too easily! Naturally sweetened, nicely balanced with the best flavor!
I’m going a little old-school on you! These Strawberry Margaritas have been off my radar since I was in my young twenties, but I’m swinging back around because I just got a hankering for one the other day. Especially with all these gorgeous juicy sweet strawberries at the farmers market lately! They make the best margaritas!
If you are looking for a more “grown-up” margarita- make sure to try these smoky Mezcal Margaritas with jalapeno and cilantro, served on the rocks with lime slices. Not a classic margarita but a notch up in my book. 😉
But if you are in the mood for something light and refreshing, stay right here.
Strawberry Margarita Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries– get the most juicy, ripe, sweet strawberries you can find. Opt for organic because conventional strawberries are heavily treated with pesticides. Best bet? Get them from your farmer’s market!
- Tequilla- For delicious Margaritas, opt for Blanco and Reposado Tequila, both work great here.
- Orange Liqueur – Grand Marnier, Triple Sec or most any orange liqueur will work here.
- Limes – check for ripeness, are they soft?
- Sweetener- Instead of simple syrup, we naturally sweeten with agave syrup, honey or even maple syrup.
How to make the BEST Strawberry Margaritas!
Place your juicy ripe strawberries in a blender.
Add tequila, orange liqueur (or triple sec) lime juice and your sweetener of choice.
Blend until smooth.
At this point, you could put this in the fridge for later, or add the ice.
Once the ice is added, blend until it’s like the most delicious-looking slushie ever.
How to Serve Strawberry Margaritas
Oh! And if you have kids or want a virgin version of this try this Strawberry Slushie!
Make a sugar rim if you like, rubbing the rim with the spent lime halves, and dipping in sugar.
A delicious, 5-minute cocktail, perfect for 2.
Why I love Mason Jar Margaritas!
And if you serve them in a mason jar, they are packable. Perfect for that sunset cocktail somewhere outdoors! 😉
Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

Description
Here is the BEST Strawberry Margarita recipe, using ripe, juicy, in-season strawberries! These blended Strawberry Margaritas are light and refreshing and go down a little too easy! Naturally sweetened, nicely balanced with the best flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (10-12 ounces)
- 1/2 cup tequila ( light-colored is better here)
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur (or triple sec)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons honey, maple or agave
- ——
- 3 cups ice
Make a sugar rim if you like, rubbing the rim with the spent lime halves, and dipping in sugar.
Instructions
- Blend strawberries, tequila, orange liqueur, lime and honey until smooth. (You could do this ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.)
- Add ice and blend until smooth and slushy-like. Pour into 2-3 glasses.
- Drink immediately.
Notes
I love adding basil leaves to this, but was out and didn’t want to make a special trip to store. Cilantro or mint could be nice too. A squeeze of orange juice is also tasty. Play around and have fun with it.
Of course if you want it more boozy, or less boozy, adjust to taste. I’ve found that equal parts lime juice and sweetener are the perfect balance. Do as you like.

Easy to make, nice and tasty, I made it a little stronger and added a pinch of chili to make it a chill strawberry margarita!
★★★★★
Yum, chili sounds fun!
This recipe produced delightful and very tasty margaritas. Didn’t have fresh lime, I just used a margarita mixer I had on hand. Do not leave out the agave or other sweetener!
★★★★★
These are simply the best strawberry margaritas you will ever have! They are easy to make and a huge crowd pleaser. I’m sure you’ll want more than one! I made 2 batches which served 2 drinks each for four adults. I used agave nectar. Thanks again for another delightful recipe!
