“What are the leaves on the top of a strawberry called?” (Do you think they got that piece of trivia from the apps they are scarily dependent on or from my sister who is a Wednesday-Night-Trivia-Group leader? (Oh, I wish I were kidding….but I am not.) And being the genius little wasps they are they are always showing off their knowledge of completely random facts smugly asking me ridiculous things like, My niece and nephew are annoyingly (but kind of cutely) addicted to strawberries. I’m also throwing in whole fresh strawberries with the tops and all. It is, of course, the combo of really good tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, maple syrup, and strawberries. I’ve learnt a thing or two since then.) What’s the secret to the amazing flavor? But, it really wasn’t a great restaurant. But, after years of working as a cocktail waitress in a Mexican restaurant while I was in college, I don’t think so. Maybe you’re going to tell me I haven’t tasted enough strawberry margaritas. But, I stand by it, and challenge you to make these strawberry margaritas and tell me something different. I have to say, I think this is the best strawberry margarita I’ve ever had. They always make me feel like I’m on vacation. Made these? Let us know how it went in the comments below.This frozen strawberry margarita recipe is EPIC! I absolutely love frozen margaritas. Need to serve a crowd? You can easily double (or triple) this recipe too in a pitcher to serve your crew with ease. You can use kosher salt or coarse sea salt for your rim-whatever you prefer/have on hand will work. While we love a good pitcher moment, we went classic with these margs by serving them in individual glasses with a salt rim and lime garnishes. While we love all our over the top margarita alternatives, when it comes to the classic, all you need is some lime juice (freshly squeezed please!). We used simple & reliable triple sec in these margaritas, but if you have a preferred Cointreau you’d like to use, feel free to swap it out! Craving something a little less sticky sweet? Try our skinny margarita, which swaps the orange liquor for OJ and agave. More of a mezcal lover? Feel free to swap it out for a smoky, earthy mezcal margarita. Unsure about what type of tequila to use? Blanco tequila is always a solid option, but a good reposado would also be an excellent choice (especially if you’re looking for a smooth, almost caramel-like flavor to turn into a Cadillac margarita). If you’re searching for the perfect tequila for your margarita, there’s no shortage of options. The key to making the best margarita is all in the ratio and balance of the ingredients. Now one of the most popular cocktails in the world, the margarita is thought to have started out as the variation on another prohibition-era drink called the "Daisy." Spanish for "daisy," the marg swapped in tequila for the requisite brandy and lime juice for lemon juice, and a classic was born. All you need are 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make one for yourself-get those limes out, and let happy hour again! But, when we’re craving a simple, no frills, refreshing cocktail, this classic recipe is the one we turn to. We’ve done our fair share of experimenting with this classic cocktail, from adding in sweet fruit flavors (hello peach and pineapple), spicy kicks (lookin’ at you jalapeño), to icy, frozen varieties. Here at Delish, we can’t get enough of margaritas.
