A classic margarita is a strong cocktail made traditionally of tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. It’s frequently served in a salt-rimmed glass. Additionally, it can be shaken with ice, served over ice, or blended with ice for a slushy-like frozen cocktail.

And there are a lot of variations! A popular one is a strawberry margarita, which has strawberries blended in. Similarly, this frozen berry margarita recipe blends frozen berries into the mix. The result is a sweet and fruity take on the classic.

This is a fun cocktail to make for Cinco de Mayo or anytime you’re putting together a fiesta-style menu. And Taco Tuesdays or girls’ night in are a lot more fun with a pitcher of margaritas!

  • Simple Syrup Substitute: If desired, use agave nectar instead of simple syrup.
  • Orange Liqueur Substitute: If you don’t have orange liqueur, you can omit it from this recipe. However, if desired add 1/2 cup orange juice or 1/4 teaspoon orange extract instead.

Frozen Berry Margarita FAQs

What’s in a Classic Margarita?

A classic margarita only has three ingredients: tequila, orange liqueur (such as Cointreau), and lime juice. It’s commonly served in a glass with a salted rim.

What is Margarita Mix?

Margarita mix is typically a non-alcoholic syrup. It usually contains sugar, water, and lime juice (as well as preservatives if you buy the mix instead of making it). It’s meant to be mixed with tequila to make margaritas!

How Can I Make Strawberry Margaritas?

It’s easy to turn this mixed berry margarita recipe into strawberry margaritas!

To make strawberry margaritas, omit the frozen mixed berries. Instead, use 4 cups of either fresh or frozen strawberries. However, if you use fresh strawberries, add 1 cup of ice. And then blend it up!

What Pairs Well with Margaritas?

If you’re putting together a Cinco de Mayo party, Taco Tuesday potluck, or are just wondering what to serve with margaritas, I have you covered! Here are a few things that pair perfectly:

  • Tilapia Fish Tacos Recipe with Cabbage Slaw – a healthy, flavor-packed meal
  • Pico de Gallo (Mexican Salsa Fresca) – great for scooping up with tortilla chips
  • Green Chicken Enchiladas Recipe with Salsa Verde – a favorite at my house!

    I’m normally not big on alcoholic beverages but this looks absolutely delicious! Just out of curiosity: is there a nonalcoholic substitute for the tequila?

      Yes! :) You can use a fruit juice like cranberry or white grape juice. Or you can use unsweetened iced tea; I’ve made it with unsweetened green tea and it’s delicious!
