Strawberry margarita

By Layla Pujol 2 Comments

Homemade strawberry margaritas made with fresh strawberries, lime juice, sugar or honey, orange liqueur, and tequila.

This homemade strawberry margarita recipe is made with fresh strawberries, lime juice, sugar or honey, orange liqueur, and tequila. I love a good refreshing margarita, and while a classic simple margarita with fresh lime juice is a great drink, sometimes I feel more like a fruity variation of this delicious cocktail. This strawberry margarita can be prepared and served on the rocks. Or if you prefer frozen strawberry margaritas, simply add additional ice and blend until you have a smooth frozen drink. You can use sugar to sweeten this drink, but sometimes I also like to use honey – it goes so well with strawberries and lime juice.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version or mocktail strawberry margarita leave out the tequila/orange liqueur and you will have a refreshing strawberry limeade drink or slushy.

One of my most recent obsessions has been making homemade infused liqueurs. I made a strawberry infused tequila that turned out so good. Infused tequila (or vodka/rum/etc) are very easy to make and just take 2-3 days for the fruit flavor to infuse the alcohol, so if you are planning in advance to prepare these strawberry margaritas, I recommend making it with strawberry infused tequila, it will give the cocktail as extra boost of delicious strawberry-ness.
