Ingredients
- 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) tequila*
- 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) Cointreau
- 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) fresh lime juice
- 10 ounces (1 1/2 cups) frozen whole strawberries (fresh work too!)
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup, agave syrup, or maple syrup
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of two glasses. Dip the edge of each rim into a plate of salt (or for a festive look, use margarita salt).
- Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until fully combined: you can blend until it’s an icy texture, or keep blending for a minute or so until it’s more liquid. Taste and add additional sweetener if desired. Pour into the glasses and serve.
Notes
*Easily doubles for 4 drinks or triples for 6 drinks, based on the size of your blender (use the 2x and 3x button).
For a sweet margarita: Add make it with double the simple syrup or maple syrup, and add more to taste if desired.
For other fruit variations: Replace half of the frozen strawberries with frozen mangoes, peaches, or pineapple for different flavor combinations. Adjust the sweetener to taste.
For a spicy margarita: Remove the seeds from 1/4 jalapeño pepper and roughly chop it. Add it to the blender and blend.
Rim variations: Try margarita salt or a Tajín rim, a Mexican seasoning blend of chili peppers, lime, and salt that adds a burst of tangy, spicy flavor.
