Substitutions & variations
You can make homemade margarita mix to use in this frozen virgin strawberry margarita recipe! It’s so much tastier than the stuff you buy at the grocery store. However, pre-made mix will also work.
Instead of regular sugar on the rim of your glasses, make some margarita sugar! You can also rim each glass with margarita salt or chili lime seasoning if you prefer.
Fresh strawberries and frozen strawberries both work in this recipe. During strawberry season, I love to freeze my strawberries when they are ripe and flavorful! That way, I’ve always got strawberries I can use to make cocktails and mocktails.
Instructions
Follow these simple step by step instructions to make these delicious virgin margaritas:
Place fresh or frozen strawberries into your blender. Then add the simple syrup, margarita mix, orange juice and ice cubes over the top of the berries.
Start the blender and blend until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and have a nice slushy texture. If the blender gets stuck, add a bit of water in ¼ cup increments to make it a thinner consistency.
Place sugar on a plate and rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass. Roll the rim in the sugar to coat it.
Split the frozen strawberry margarita between the two rimmed glasses, then garnish with a lime wedge and fresh strawberry slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips & tricks
Not to toot my own horn, but I’m somewhat of a pro when it comes to tasty margaritas! If you’re having trouble making these perfect, then check out my tips:
- Don’t make frozen margaritas until you are ready to serve them! They’re best when they are made fresh, otherwise they can begin to melt and become watery.
- If you’re using frozen berries, you may need to run the blender for a longer amount of time. This will help ensure the berries are fully incorporated into the drink and no large chunks remain.
- Did you run out of margarita mix? Make just enough for this recipe by combining 4 ounces lime juice and 4 ounces simple syrup.
Food pairings
Serve these fruity margs with chips and queso, some hearty guacamole, or a delicious salsa. Some shishito peppers with garlic aioli would also be a tasty snack.
For game day parties, these virgin margaritas would go great with air fryer chicken wings or gooey mozzarella sticks.
Some whipped feta dip and fried pickles are great snacks to eat with a yummy strawberry margarita too.
