Recipe ingredients

Strawberry margarita ingredients.

Ingredient notes

  • Margarita salt: Homemade margarita salt is fun to make when you’re feeling extra. Or, use kosher salt or even sugar.
  • Strawberries: We recommend fresh strawberries for this cocktail. Frozen strawberries lacked flavor and tasted “watery.”
  • Tequila: For a similar, stronger flavor, substitute Mezcal.
  • Honey: Or substitute simple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar to taste.
  • Triple sec: Or substitute your favorite orange liqueur such as Grand Mariner, Cointreau, or Curacao.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. In a shallow dish as wide as your serving glass, add Margarita salt (or kosher salt) to 1/4-inch deep. Run a lime wedge around the top of each glass, then dip the top of the glass upside-down into the salt and turn to coat.

Recipe tips and variations

  • Frozen margarita: Add ice to your blender to taste and blend until slushy (I like about 5 cups of ice).
  • Daiquiri: To make a strawberry daiquiri, substitute rum for the tequila.

      Margarita salt or kosher salt
      Lime wedges
      0.5 pound fresh strawberries hulled
      0.5 cup tequila
      0.33 cup fresh lime juice (1/3 cup)
      0.17 cup honey (about 2 tablespoons, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons)
      0.13 cup triple sec (about 2 tablespoons)
