Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (600 grams) frozen strawberries
- 1 cup (240 ml) tequila blanco
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) simple syrup
- Optional: coarse kosher or sea salt for rimming glasses
- Optional: fresh strawberries or lime wedges for garnish
- Optional: ice cubes to adjust slushiness
Instructions
- Juice the limes until you have about 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice. Measure out the tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup. Make sure your frozen strawberries are ready to go.
- Add the frozen strawberries, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup to the blender pitcher. Secure the lid tightly.
- Start blending on a low setting, then ramp up to high. Blend for about 60-90 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If the mix is too thick, add a splash of water or ice cubes and pulse again. It should be thick but pourable.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired. If too strong, add a splash of water or more frozen strawberries and blend again.
- Pour the blended slush into a large pitcher and set in the freezer for 10-15 minutes if you want it extra icy before serving.
- Optional: Rub a lime wedge around the rims of your glasses and dip them in coarse salt.
- Serve the frozen strawberry margarita slushies into glasses and garnish with fresh strawberry slices or lime wedges.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for the best icy texture. Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor. Pulse blender in bursts if needed to avoid overheating. Chill glasses before serving to keep drinks colder longer. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste. For a non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and triple sec and add orange juice or soda water.
