Frozen Strawberry Margarita Ingredients 

• Tequila  – You will reach for your favorite tequila brand for this recipe. Blanco is a very popular tequila for this recipe. 
• Triple Sec—Triple Sec is an orange liqueur with a sweet flavor that helps balance out the alcohol and lime. 
• Lime Juice—You can use fresh lime or bottled lime juice. The lime adds that tart, zesty twist, and the acidic component is a must. 
• Simple Syrup—This syrup is a sugar mixture that will sweeten your drink and enhance the berries’ natural flavors. 
• Fresh Strawberries – Reach for ripe and plump berries. You will want to trim the tops, rinse, and pat dry the berries before blending.  
• Ice—The ice will help create that slush texture. The sugar water is vital, as it will help break up the ice so it doesn’t clump. 
• Lime Slice (Garnish) – The lime is optional but will add much color to your cocktail!
• Salt (for rim) – You can rim your cocktail with a salt rim. The salt will help balance the tequila and all the sweetness from the cocktail.

Popular Margarita Variations And Substitutions

• You can change the fruit to make a different-flavored margarita—peach, watermelon, mango, etc. Feel free to use any fruit you would like. 
• Instead of fresh fruit, consider grapefruit, lime, or another type of juice to create a different fruity margarita recipe. 
• Instead of salting the rim, you can use coarse sugar to coat it with a sweet rim. 
• Make the drink spicy by adding some jalapeno and a few seeds to the blender. Then, you can rim the glass with Tajin instead of salt. 
• For a minty or herbal twist, consider mulling some basil or mint leaves in the glass before you pour the margarita. 
• Instead of using a blender, add ice and mixture into a cocktail shaker and shake; serve your margarita over ice. 
• Swap the tequila with a white rum to add a different alcohol profile to this drink.
