Margaritas Anyone?

Is there anything better than a fresh fruity cocktail on a sweltering summer day? I think not. Something about sipping a berry beverage to cool off always puts a smile on my face. And if a few friends have one with me? Even better!

Berry Margarita Ingredients

  • Strawberry Jam – This adds a stronger strawberry flavor and thickness to the margarita 
  • Triple Sec – A touch of orange flavored liqueur to cut through the “bite” of the lime and tequila – sub with Cointreau, La Belle, or Grande Marnier

Quick Mixology Tips 

  • The base of this beverage includes fresh hulled strawberries, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. However, I like to add two surprise ingredients to intensify the flavor… Fresh mint leaves and chunky strawberry jam.
  • The addition of strawberry jam sweetens the Fresh Strawberry Cocktail Recipe, and provides a double-blast of strawberry flavor, making the fresh strawberries really shine.
  • Adding the mint leaves gives the strawberry essence a little unexpected pop of freshness and contrast.
  • Then, of course, the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice offer that traditional margarita appeal we all know and love. Add a salty rim and you’ve got a fabulous cocktail to share with friends!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Alcohol is in This Beverage? 

Typically, frozen margaritas have a little more alcohol in them because of the ice blended in. There is approximately a 10 percent alcohol content, as the ice will dilute it as it melts.

What is the Difference Between a Strawberry Daiquiri and a Strawberry Marg?

Both of these beverages can be served either on the rocks, or blended with ice. Although to me, they are best “frozen” blended with ice. The main difference between these two cocktails is that daiquiris are usually made with rum, while margaritas are made with tequila, and sometimes even with beer. So the difference is the type of alcohol, and not so much the way that it is served or made. 

What kind of tequila should I use to prevent a hangover? 

There isn’t really a scientific answer to this question. Yet rumor states that the kind of tequila that is less likely to give you a hangover is a pure, 100 percent agave tequila. AKA blanco tequila. 

Of course, you can still get a hangover with tequila blanco, based on how much you drink and the way your body breaks down the alcohol, especially when sugar is added to the mix. So know your limits and drink responsibly!
