Theres absolutely nothing like hanging out with your best friends over a couple of margaritas, a bag of chips and some homemade guacamole. It heals the soul, Ill tell you. Im not sure what guys really think girls do when they get together for a girls night, but my girls nights usually involve homemade margaritas, chips, celebrity gossip magazines and a pan of brownies.
Its wonderful.
I do love a good margarita and these are so sweet and fruity that youll forget theyre alcoholic.
That could be a good or very bad thing. Ill let you be the judge.
These fun, pink margaritas are perfect for any Spring party, impromptu cocktail hour or girls night. You can make the strawberry syrup ahead of time and use any extra to flavor sparkling water for a sweet non-alcoholic treat.
Strawberry or not, I love my margaritas rimmed with lots of salt! I also like them on the rocks. If you prefer yours to be blended, no problem! Just throw all the ingredients into your blender (strawberry syrup, tequila, triple sec and lime juice) with a ton of ice and youll be on your way.
Cheers!
Strawberry Margaritas
Try this strawberry margarita recipe for a colorful drink bursting with strawberry flavor. Food blogger Jenna Weber shares her inspiration for this unique tasting drink in a full post on the Fresh Tastes blog.
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 4 oz tequila
- 3 oz triple sec
- 2 limes, juiced
- ice
- salt

Ingredients
- Combine the frozen strawberries, sugar and water in a small pot over low/medium heat. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook on low for about 30 minutes until strawberries have broken down and mixture is thick. Remove from the stove, pour into a Tupperware container or glass jar and refrigerate until chilled.
- To make the margaritas, add about a third cup of the strawberry syrup to a cocktail shaker (you be the judge according to how sweet you like your margaritas). Follow with the tequila, triple sec, lime juice and ice.
