Easy Fresh Strawberry Margarita – the ultimate summer drink made in a blender with just a few ingredients.
Easy Fresh Strawberry Margarita
Cinco de mayo is around the corner. Time to share with you my all time favorite, super easy to make Fresh Strawberry Margarita.
Original recipe posted in May 2015. Updated in May 2019.
I love the month of may, because this is when you are usually able to find some good, sweet and delicious, ripe strawberries around here.
We buy a lot of them and try to consume as many as possible, before they go bad.
How to store fresh strawberries?
By the way how do you store your berries in the fridge for? Mine get pretty bad on the second day, but I guess if I was in California, they were gonna last a little longer?
I recently started taking them strawberries out of the box, placing them in a glass container with a lid (I use Pyrex brand) unwashed and storing them like this in the fridge. Depending on the ripeness they can last like this for up to 5 days. No pre-washing or spraying with chemicals.

How to make fresh strawberry margarita in a blender?
This strawberry margarita only takes 5 minutes to make in a blender.
It requires just a few ingredients and can be server frozen or on the rocks.
I decided to use fresh strawberries and serve it on the rocks.
Perfect for a party!
You can also make it in a pitcher and double/triple the recipe.
Also, skip the salt if you’d like.
I hope this homemade cocktail finds a place in your Memorial Day Menu (Or any other summer holiday and gathering).
This easy fresh strawberry margarita is light, sweet and refreshing.
Don’t worry guys, I’m still a mojito girl!
What is the difference between strawberry margarita and strawberry daiquiri?
Both are frozen strawberry drinks (of course margaritas can be served on the rocks), but daiquiri is made with rum and margarita is made with tequila.
How many carbs does this Strawberry margarita have?
So with the latest low-carb lifestyle popularity, this margarita may come higher on carbs. This particular recipe, made with Agave nectar is a large drink, that has 411 calories and 50 carbs.
I know it is a lot! You can reduce the amount of strawberries and use low-carb sweetener, if you’d like to reduce the amount of carbs, but still, this is not a Keto recipe.
What is the best tequila for margarita?
If you do a search on “the best tequila” you’ll get results of some pretty pricy types of tequila. But is it really worth it using an expensive, high quality tequila in a cocktail?
It depends in my opinion. Any unnamed tequila will work for a margarita cocktail, the higher quality the better (and I’ve tested quite a few brands).
Please do not use aged (anejo) tequila that has been aged in oak for certain time. It is darker in color and has a stronger flavor.

Easy Fresh Strawberry Margarita For Summer
Easy Fresh Strawberry Margarita
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh ripe strawberries — , washed, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup silver tequila
- 2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur such as Triple Sec or Cointreau — ( I often like to use Grand Marnier instead, which is a blend of Triple Sec and cognac. This makes the drink stronger)
- kosher salt for the rim of the glass
- ice
Instructions
-
Place strawberries, tequila, lime juice, agave nectar (honey) and orange liqueur in a blender. Pulse a few times, until smooth. Let the mixture rest for 3-5 minutes. Using a spoon, remove all the foam on top. Taste and add more tequila, lime juice or sweetener, if needed.
-
If you are serving in salt-rimmed glasses - run a slice of lime around the top of each glass. Dip the top of the glass in salt. (If you can not get the salt to stick - in a shallow bowl pour some lime, lemon juice or water. Dip the glass, upside down in it and then dip it in salt.
-
Fill glasses with ice and pour Margarita mixture on top. Garnish with a strawberry or lime wedge.

I’m a mojito (or caipirinha) girl too, but this Margarita is looking fenomenal! I love that you used fresh strawberries! My strawberries also go fast very quick, but I recently learned a trick that seems to be working as I’ve had them for 3 days now. I wash and let them air dry. Them I line a container with paper towels, add the strawberries, add another sheet of paper towels, then more strawberries and etc. The paper towel sucks all the moisture and they last longer this way! Hope it helps!! 😀
Love these margaritas! So pretty and strawberries are definitely my favourite fruit. Can’t wait to try this! 😀
The second you wash strawberries, they’ll start to rot. So I wash them as needed, and that helps them not go bad quite as quickly!
I love margaritas, so this recipe is happiness! Sorry about your cold weather, though…
I can’t wait till we’re back in the 70s and 80s, Mira! But this margarita makes me feel just a little bit better. Strawberry ones are my absolute favorite, so I’m loving this! Gorgeous pictures, too! Pinned!
It’s been cool up here too! In fact, we’ve had fog every morning for several days.. then it burns off and warms up… to the mid 60s! Ha!! Loving strawberries too, although I’m still waiting for the locals to come in. The CA strawberries I buy at the store go fast.. maybe two days fresh. When I buy local, they last for at least 4-5 days. Washing: I don’t do it until I’m ready to eat em.
This margarita! I’m in love!! I’m in need of some good margarita inspiration, as I am hosting a Friday night margarita get together in a few weeks, and this one will be perfect! Thank you Mira!
I can’t get enough of all berries lately either and love this strawberry margarita! It’s gorgeous and looks so refreshing! Perfect for Memorial Day and all summer long!
Thanks Kelly!
5 minutes to a perfect strawberry marg? I’m in!
Oh yeah Sarah, can’t get any better!
Yessssss, please! So perfect for everyone’s Memorial Day celebrations! Nothing like a strawberry margarita to bring in summer! Pinned!
Thanks Annie!
Margaritas are my jam! And a fresh strawberry one has my mouth watering. Too bad it’s only 9 am here… I’ll have to file this one away for the weekend! Hope it warms back up for you for the holiday!
Glad you like these Jen, hope you get to make them for the weekend! I think it is supposed to warm up tomorrow 🙂
There’s nothing more fun than a strawberry margarita and in my opinion the best way to use up strawberries.
Sorry for your chilly weather, Mira. But it’s already hot and humid here in Atlanta and this Strawberry Margarita sure does sound pretty incredible right about now! Pinning for sure!
Can you believe this weather Mira?! We went from 80 to 45 ( I live along the lake shore in the northern burbs so we are colder than the 50s 🙁 ) in less than twelve hours on Tuesday. Tomorrow is supposed to be 70 though, thank God!
I haven’t had a strawberry margarita in ages. This looks so refreshing and delicious. I just might have to make these the red on my red white and blue table this Memorial Day. 🙂
That looks like the perfect summer drink. Something about margarita’s in the summer, they’re just so refreshing! And even better with fresh strawberries!
Beautiful drink Mira! I face the same problem with strawberries, get a huge box and then they start going bad before I can finish them!
YUM-O! this looks perfect for a summer after dinner drink! 😉
I never had a strawberry margarita…hmm, how did I miss this? I love strawberries in pretty much everything, so I’ll definitely try your recipe. Sounds delish!
Ooooh, yes! I was actually looking for a strawberry margarita the other day. I’m starting to think of you as the go to place when I’m thirsty – breakfast or cocktail time! Pinning, of course! 🙂
These margaritas look amazing!! So fresh and perfect for spring :).
There is nothing better than a cold refreshing drink, especially when you can whip it up so quickly! I love strawberries, so this margarita sounds fantastic!
Woah! What moth watering images. These margaritas look so beautiful and tasty. I will definitely have to try making them! Thank you 🙂
Okay, I am SO adding these margaritas to our menu for the upcoming holiday weekend! Nothing beats a fresh strawberry drink this time of year! They’re stunning, Mira!
I am such a Margarita girl although i love a good Mojito as well. These strawberry margaritas are awesome Mira.
Fresh strawberry margaritas are the best! And I agree that they are the ultimate summer drink. Is it 5 o’clock yet? Cheers to the weekend!
Totally agree Ashley!
Love this drink recipe! So easy and using fresh strawberries means I can drink my daily recommended amount of fruit this summer. Yay!
Oh my word this looks amazing!! LOVE strawberries this time of year!! #obsessed!! 🙂 🙂
This margarita looks very refreshing, Mira! Loved the pictures! Perfect for summer! pinned, of course!
We are back in the 50s where I live too. What happened to the warm weather?!? This strawberry margarita will put me back into warm weather mode!
Wow! So refreshing summer treat. Margarita looks just fabulous. And these pictures are just stunning!
Mira these images are just outstanding, you totally captured the essence of the drink. Looks very tempting and makes me want to have a sip. It’s pinned straight onto my ‘Gorgeous Drinks’ board!
I’m always looking for fun ways to use some of the mountain of strawberries we grow and am rather fond of a nice strawberry daiquiri, but I’ll definitely give this a whirl when they begin to ripen in a week or so 🙂
I hope you like it Brian!
Oh yes. I will take one (or 4) of these for the holiday weekend! Pretty pics!
Beautiful cocktail! Let me tell you it was so hot and humid here in Hong Kong today your drink would melt walking from the kitchen to the dining room. Perfect and delicious strawberry margarita! Shared and pinned!
I made this margarita for my Mother’s Day cookout & while delicious and VERY refreshing, it was thicker than I would have liked. Have you had this issue before? Do you know what the problem could be?
Hi Brittany, I’ve never had this issue before. If it is thick, you can always add ice and blend again. Keep in mind, that cocktails made with fresh fruit puree are normally thicker than ones made with just juice.
Thanks for the speedy response! Fruit purée being thicker than juice makes perfect sense, I’ll use a little ice next time. Thanks for the FAB recipe!!
I always assumed margaritas are a task best left to restaurants; I didnt realize how easy margaritas are to make and make well until this recipe. Wonderful!
Thanks Brigette!
This is perfect for ladies night!
