Strawberry Margaritas
With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, one needs a delicious drink to celebrate. My frozen Strawberry Margaritas are the perfect nectar to sip on during this fun and festive holiday! Made with frozen strawberries, they’re amazing on a hot evening, or anytime you’re looking for a delicious cocktail!
There are several ways to make a margarita, but my personal favorite is one that is frozen. For this cocktail, I used frozen strawberries rather than ice, to achieve an amazingly delicious texture and flavor. Along with fresh lime juice, honey, triple sec, and a good quality silver tequila, this drink is the ultimate refreshing libation!
Do I have to add salt to my glass?
Nope – this is totally personal preference. Some people enjoy a salted rim, others prefer it on the salty side. If you are making margarita for guests, ask your friends how they prefer their cocktail, and bar-tend accordingly.
What type of glasses are traditional for margaritas?
A curved wide-mouth, ups glass is typical for a margarita, especially when its frozen. An ups glass (a glass with a stem) is designed to keep your drink colder for longer. When the heat from your hands is placed on the stem of the glass, it does not interfere with the temperature of the drink, thus keeping it cold.
More often, if a drink is served on the rocks, it is served in a short (non-stem) rocks glass. Add salt accordingly.
I enjoy salt on the rim of my margarita, however, this is totally up to personal preference. How one takes their margarita, some may say, is a great gauge of personality. Flavor, on the rocks, blended, frozen, salt or no salt – what’s your favorite way to enjoy this delicious drink?
