The Ingredients:
Frozen Strawberries- Delicious, economical, and create the perfect frozen texture in a margarita.
Fresh Lime Juice- For a fresh citrus flavor & used to garnish margarita glasses.
Tequila- Classic liquor used in Margaritas. If you can find Patron silver, it is my absolute favorite. Anejo is also delicious and what I used in this recipe. I like to go with a higher quality when I can because it does make a difference in taste.
Grand Marnier- Liquor that brings in a orange citrus taste.
Simple Syrup- For additional sweetness.
Ice- To make these margaritas extra frosty.
Salt-Not in the picture, but great for a garnish around the rim

How to Make Strawberry Lime Margaritas:
For Salt around the rim of glass: Begin by squeezing the juice from 1 lime onto a plate and placing a few tablespoons of table salt or margarita salt onto another plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the lime juice then roll it into the salt.
Step 1: Into a blender, add in frozen strawberries, the juice from two limes, simple syrup, grand marnier, tequila and ice. Blend until no chunks of strawberry or ice remain.
Step 2: Pour into margarita glasses being careful not to touch the salty rim. Top with a lime wedge and enjoy this delicious frozen cocktail.
Expert Tips:
- Serve right away before they start to melt.
- Use a high powered blender for the smoothest texture.
- I highly recommend using frozen strawberries. If you want to use fresh strawberries, stick them in the freezer for at least an hour before adding to the blender. If they're not quite frozen you may need a bit more ice.

Recipe FAQs:
You can, but take out the ice in the recipe. It will still be on the thicker side. If you want a thinner version, you can try a package of fresh strawberries, but you will want to blend the strawberries first and strain out the seeds.
Yes, you can use triple sec to replace the Grand Marnier in this recipe. Any orange liquor should be yummy!
If you don't like tequila, rum would be delicious. This will quickly go from a Margarita to a Daiquiri, but both are so YUMMY!
