Notes
For the best Strawberry Margarita Mix, always use ripe, in-season strawberries; they offer the most natural sweetness.
Adjust sugar content based on the sweetness of your fruit.
Freshly squeezed lime juice is non-negotiable for this Strawberry Margarita Mix; bottled juice just won’t cut it.
For an extra smooth texture, strain your Strawberry Margarita Mix through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Store your homemade Strawberry Margarita Mix in an airtight container or pitcher in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 3-4 days.
For longer storage, you can freeze the Strawberry Margarita Mix in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months. Thaw cubes in the refrigerator when you’re ready to enjoy.
For a sugar-free version, use a natural sweetener like stevia or erythritol.
You can substitute frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available; just thaw them first.
Add a touch of jalapeño for a spicy kick, or blend in some mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
You can swap the orange liqueur for triple sec.
This recipe includes an optional ¼ cup of orange liqueur, making it lightly alcoholic. If you omit it, the mix is non-alcoholic and perfect for mocktails or adding your own spirits later.
To make a single strawberry margarita: combine about ½ cup of your Strawberry Margarita Mix with 1.5-2 oz tequila and ice in a shaker. Shake well, then pour into a salt-rimmed glass.
