Pro Tips for the Best Margaritas

  1. Fresh vs. Frozen Berries: If using frozen berries, let them sit for a few minutes so they blend easier.
  2. Adjust the Sweetness: Like it sweeter? Add a little more simple syrup. Prefer a tart drink? Reduce the syrup or add extra lime juice.
  3. Strain for Smoothness: If you don’t like berry seeds in your drink, strain the blended mixture before shaking.
  4. Get That Perfect Rim: Rub a lime wedge around the rim before dipping it in salt for the best coverage.
  5. Chill Your Glasses: Pop the glasses in the freezer for a few minutes for an extra-refreshing margarita.

Substitutions & Variations

  • No tequila? Try white rum or vodka for a twist.
  • No triple sec? Use Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or even a splash of fresh orange juice.
  • Make it a frozen margarita! Skip the shaker and blend everything with extra ice.
  • Make it kid-friendly! Leave out the alcohol and replace it with sparkling water or lemonade.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Blend the Berries & Lime Juice

In a blender, combine 1 cup of mixed berries and 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice. Blend until smooth.

2. Strain (Optional)

For a smoother drink, pour the berry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or cocktail shaker to remove seeds.

3. Shake Everything Together

In a cocktail shaker, combine the strained berry mixture, 2 oz silver tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz simple syrup, and 1 cup ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.

4. Rim the Glass with Salt

Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it into a small plate of salt.

Leftovers & Storage

  • Best Fresh: Margaritas are best enjoyed right away, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freeze It! Pour leftovers into an ice cube tray and freeze. Blend with a splash of tequila for an easy frozen margarita later.
