Strawberry Margarita Cocktail Recipe
This strawberry margarita is a fresh, fruity twist on the classic. You’re blending juicy strawberries with tequila, lime juice, and a splash of orange liqueur. It’s sweet, a little tart, and has that vibrant pink color that just looks like summer in a glass.
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila silver/blanco recommended
- 1 oz orange liqueur Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or triple sec
- 1 oz fresh lime juice about 1 large lime
- 4 –5 medium fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
- 1/2 oz simple syrup or agave syrup
- Margarita salt for rimming the glass
- Garnish: 1 fresh strawberry or lime wedge
Instructions
- Grab a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass. Dip the edge into margarita salt spread out on a small plate.
- In your cocktail shaker, add the chopped strawberries and simple syrup. Muddle them until you get a chunky puree.
- Pour in your tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice.
- Toss in some ice and shake it like you mean it for about 15 to 20 seconds. You want it nice and chilled.
- Double strain it into your prepared glass over fresh ice. This helps catch all the pulp and seeds so your drink stays smooth.
- Top it off with a strawberry or lime wedge on the rim. Sip right away while it’s cold and fresh.
Notes
Want it frozen instead?
Just toss everything in a blender with a handful of ice and blend until smooth. That’s it.
