Any tequila works in this recipe.

Make sure to freeze strawberries before hand.

You can also make combinations like Strawberry Mango Margarita or Strawberry Kiwi Margarita. Try playing with different fruit combinations.

In fact you can use any berry like raspberry, blueberry or even mixed berries to make this summer drink.

Just skip adding the alcohol that is tequila and grand marnier and add ¼ cup fresh orange juice instead.

All you need is a good blender to blend the frozen strawberries to a smooth puree without heating it up.

I also recommend investing in Margarita Glasses which are perfect to serve this drink.

How to rim the Margarita Glass?

Follow these easy peasy steps to get a tropical bar like rim on the Margarita Glass:
