How To Make Strawberry Margarita
This Strawberry Margarita recipe can be enjoyed either on the rocks or frozen. If you want to freeze it, add ice to the mixture before blending. The amount of ice you need to add will depend on the consistency you want. The more ice, the thicker the drink.
Single-Serving - Strawberry Margarita Recipe
Everyone loves making the Strawberry Margarita since it only takes approximately 5 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients:
- Margarita salt or kosher salt
- Lime wedges
- ¼ pound fresh strawberries hulled
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 5 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp triple sec
If you wish to coat the rim of your margarita glass with salt, run a wedge of lime around the mouth of each glass and dip it into salt. Perform this step before the others, so the margarita mixture doesn't have to sit in the blender.
Hull the strawberries and add them into a blender. You can slice them in half before tossing them in. Combine the strawberries with the triple sec, honey, lime juice, and tequila and blend until smooth. If you wish to have a frozen margarita, add a cup of ice to the blender.
If you are not creating a frozen margarita, add a few cubes to the prepared margarita glass. Otherwise, pour in and garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy!

Ingredients:
- Margarita salt or kosher salt
