Ingredients

Strawberries – Get fresh strawberries, wash and cut off the green leaf part of the fruit. Now chop them and freeze them to use in the drink. Buy red and juicy strawberries, without soft patches or black marks.
You can freeze the strawberries when they are in season and keep using them throughout the year. Check out my post on how to freeze strawberries.
You can also buy them in bulk from Costco.
Tequila – You can use any regular unflavored silver tequila for this drink. You can use any budget-friendly tequila as the strawberry flavor is very strong in this drink. My personal favorite is Tequila Resposado.
Grand Marnier is an orange-flavored liqueur. You can replace it with Cointreau or triple sec as well.
Sweetener – I have added honey to add a little sweetness, as strawberries are not that sweet. You can even add sugar or agave nectar instead.
Lime Juice – Use freshly squeezed lime juice for a refreshing tangy taste.
You would also need rock salt and lime to rim the glasses.
How to make Frozen Strawberry Margarita?
Start by rimming the margarita glasses. Add ½ cup rock salt to a wide plate. Now, cut the lime into half and press it against the rim of the glass. Invert the glass and press it on the salt all around so that the entire rim has a layer of salt on it. Prepare 4 glasses and keep them aside.
Note – Margarita is served in a special margarita glass. If you don’t have it, then serve them in any tall glass. Consider buying margarita glasses on Amazon.

Wash 1 pound of strawberries and remove the green leafy part of the fruit. Chop the strawberries and freeze them overnight or for 6 to 8 hours in a closed container.
Once the strawberries are frozen, remove them from the freezer and thaw for 5 minutes. Now add them to the medium size jar of a high-speed blender.

Add all the ingredients including ¾ cup tequila, ¼ cup Grand Marnier, ¼ cup lime juice, ¼ cup honey, and 1 cup crushed ice cubes to the jar.

Blend until smooth. Add some water or orange juice if the margarita is too thick.

Add the margarita to the rimmed glasses. Garnish with a lime slice and serve immediately.
