    Enjoy a fresh homemade frozen Strawberry Margarita with fresh berries, orange juice, lime juice, and agave. I’ve also included directions for an alcoholic version.

    There’s no better way to bring on vacation vibes from home than by mixing up tropical drinks. And this refreshing frozen strawberry margarita is my family’s favorite way to celebrate. Because it’s non-alcoholic, all ages can enjoy!

    Of course, I’ve included a recipe to turn this virgin drink into an adult beverage too. 

    Update: I’ve updated this post with new step-by-step photos and a how-to video to help you enjoy more delicious homemade cocktails this summer. Cheers!

    How to Make Frozen Strawberry Margaritas 

    I highly recommend using freshly squeezed orange and lime juice for your margaritas. The real fruit flavor makes a big difference in the final drink.

    To make the virgin strawberry margaritas, simply add all of your fresh fruit, juices, agave and blend. Then add the ice and pulse until blended as smooth as you like them. I like my margaritas pretty smooth so the ice is tiny pebbles.

    Decorating Glasses for Frozen Margaritas

    Since you are blending up fresh cocktails, why not go all-out and make sure everyone’s glass is properly garnished for the full tropical experience?

    It’s easy to make a restaurant-quality margarita glass at home. Here’s how to do it:

    1. Place coarse sugar in a shallow bowl or on a plate. 
    2. Wet the rim of each glass by running a lime wedge around it.
    3. Invert the glass to coat the wet rim with sugar. 

    It’s that simple! If you like a salty rim, you can do the same thing with kosher or flaky salt.  

    Don’t forget the finishing touch: a plump sliced strawberry on each glass. Only cut the strawberry half through lengthwise from the bottom so it rests security on the glass.

    How to Make Strawberry Margaritas with Alcohol

    If you’d like to take this non-alcoholic drink to a boozy level, simply add:

    • ½ cup of tequila
    • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier

    This will make a big batch of frozen strawberry margaritas for the adults.

      I would love this. Basically because I don’t like tequila all that much. 😉 I would much rather have a virgin margarita! Looks delicious.

      I can’t say no to a margarita, Barbara! I hope you won’t mind if I toss in a bit of tequila and Grand Marnier…? How fun that the whole family can enjoy these fancy drinks. Forget Shirley Temples. I’d have loved these as a kid!

      I don’t think I’ve had a strawberry margarita since I left the states nearly 20 years ago. Time to change that. That’s a beautiful photo – it certainly makes me thirsty!
