Strawberry Margaritas are incredibly easy to make at home. This recipe includes a boozy version, as well as a virgin version. Whip one up today!
Strawberry Margaritas are perfect for National Margarita Day! Hope you were celebrating with a nice chilly margarita. That's exactly what we did.
Although I'll readily admit mine was a virgin margarita. After being sick recently it's all I could handle. You can surely add booze to yours though. I'll give you both recipes, the full on boozy one, and the wimpy Kim version.
I was so excited to delve into this project today. Making margaritas is always a blast. I'm one of those messy cooks, and this applies to making drinks as well. My kitchen looked like gremlins got in there by the time I was done.
Honestly, I think stuff just tastes better when you make a mess. I have no proof this is true other than the fact that my recipe always come out great. When I try to be all "careful" and "clean" my recipes inevitably fail.
So here's your chance to tell your significant other that an expert is saying making a mess is important to the flow. That making a mess is the mark of a great cook, or drink maker. I'm sure this person will buy it.
It's funny because every time I head into the kitchen I tell myself to clean up as I go along. Then I get in the zone and all hell breaks loose. I just can't help myself. I get so into what I'm doing everything else just fades away.
When I finish I look around and have a brief moment of panic. Then I remember hubs does the dishes and I laugh, and laugh, and laugh some more. Okay, I don't laugh, that would be mean. But I do giggle.
It feels a little like payback for being a stay at home mom for over 20 years, all that cleaning stacks up. Now that we're both working we struck an agreement regarding housework. Guess what chore I delegated to hubs? You betcha.
So, hubs got the short straw, he does my crazy stacks of dishes. I do all the cooking, and the laundry. The laundry I actually like doing. I find it cathartic somehow.
There's a cherry red laundry set that has nothing to do with my decision. Nor the fact that I crazy ocd about laundry. Or the fact that the one time hubs did laundry he ruined all my clothes. Nope, nothing to do with any of that.
It totally works for us. It's nice to get some help around the house. Even more fun knowing I'm the one making the mess for a change. We keep our sense of humour about all things in life, including housework. It's the key to happiness.
Plus it makes him super happy to go out for dinner from time to time. A night out means our kitchen isn't being trashed. I don't have to cook, he gets a night off of doing dishes. As we say in Canada...score!
Now head into the kitchen and whip up these Strawberry Margaritas immediately!

Virgin Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 4 cups ice
- ½ cup frozen limeade concentrate
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 cup sprite
- optional for garnish:
- coarse sugar from rims
- fresh strawberries
- fresh lime sliced
Instructions
- To line the rims with sugar all you need to do is grab two shallow dishes or containers that fit the width of the glass rim. Pour a little water into one, then pour a little sugar in the other. About ¼ cup of each is more than enough for 6 to 8 glasses. Turn each glass upside down then dunk in the water first, then in the sugar. Roll the rim around so the sugar coats the rim to you liking. Set glasses aside. You can also chill your glasses in the fridge or freezer if you like prior to pouring the margaritas.
- Now place the ice in the blender first and give it a few good pulses till the ice crushes, then add the frozen strawberries, frozen limeade concentrate, sugar, and about half the sprite. Pulse till smooth. You can add more sprite until you get the consistency you like. We like ours almost like a slushie.
- Pour into glasses, top each with a strawberry and lime wedge.
- Serve with a big old Virgin Margarita smile!
