How to make a Strawberry Margarita
This simple cocktail is made in a blender. You can make a frozen margarita or you can serve it over ice.
- Strawberries – fresh or frozen
- Sugar
- Tequila
- Orange Liqueur
- Orange Juice
- Lime Juice
Ingredients:
- 4 cups chopped strawberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup silver tequila
- 1/3 cup Grand Marnier
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice I’ve used regular oranges and blood oranges
- 1 tablespoon lime juice optional
On the rocks:
-
Combine strawberries, sugar, and a few tablespoons of water in a blender and blend until completely smooth. If necessary, add a little bit more water for a smoother texture.
-
Place a fine mesh sieve over a large glass measuring cup and pour the mixture through. Lightly press and stir the mixture through the sieve. Discard the solids. You should have around 1-1/2 cups of strawberry puree.
-
Add tequila, Grand Marnier, orange juice, lime juice, and 1 cup strawberry puree to the blender (no need to clean it out) and blend until combined. Taste and adjust ingredients as necessary. Serve in glasses filled with crushed ice.
Frozen:
-
Combine all ingredients along with approximately 2 cups of crushed ice in a blender. Process until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more ice. You might need a little bit more alcohol, since the ice will dilute it a bit. Serve immediately.
TIP: Since the ice will dilute the frozen margaritas, we recommend adding an extra splash of alcohol. Taste it as you prepare it and adjust accordingly. Enjoy!
