TIPS FOR SUCCESS

The number one pro tip is to use fresh AND frozen strawberries to enhance the strawberry flavor. In this way, we can use less ice and really make the strawberry flavor the star of the show.
Sweetener is optional – if you like less sweet cocktails, omit the sweetener. Taste test the margarita after blending to see if you would like it sweeter before adding the sweetener of your choice – agave syrup, simple syrup or maple syrup.
If you want a flavored margarita just add that fruit, mango for mango, pineapple for pineapple. You can also add blueberries and raspberries with the strawberries to make a mixed berry margarita.

RECIPE FAQ’S

Q. WHAT KIND OF TEQUILA SHOULD I USE IN A FROZEN STRAWBERRY MARGARITA?

A. Blanco (silver) tequila is ideal because of its crisp, clean flavor. We love to use Sierra brand for our margaritas. Avoid aged (añejo) tequila, as it may overpower the strawberry flavors.

Q. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO RIM MY MARGARITA GLASSES?

A. The trick to adding a rim to a margarita is extremely simple! Simply pour some sugar and lime zest mixture on a plate. Then, cut a lime into wedges and rub the wet part against the rim of the glass in a circular motion.
Dip the glass upside down into the sugar and lime zest mixture and carefully press down.

Q. CAN I USE ONLY FROZEN STRAWBERRIES?

A. Absolutely! The fresh strawberries are used only to enhance the flavor, you can easily create a delicious and vibrant frozen strawberry margarita with only frozen strawberries.

Q. DO I NEED TRIPLE SEC FOR MARGARITAS?

A. I highly recommend adding the triple sec or Cointreau to your margaritas! Triple sec is an orange liqueur that adds a lovely citrus flavor to the cocktail.

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FROZEN STRAWBERRY MARGARITA AND STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI?

A. The difference between any margarita and a daiquiri is that daiquiri’s have rum instead of tequila! Although they have a very similar citrusy taste, margaritas originated in Mexico and daiquiris came from Cuba.
