When summer rolls around every year, all I want to do is lay by the pool sipping on frozen margaritas. Imagine how good it feels to drink this Frozen Cherry Limeade Margarita to refresh and rehydrate from the hot sun!

Frozen Cherry Limeade Margarita

I love Homemade Limeade for an alcohol-free way to cool off, but you can’t beat this frozen concoction when it’s just the adults by the pool. (Did you pick up on that Jimmy Buffett reference?)

As a kid, my very favorite drink in the world was a cherry limeade from Sonic, as the flavor always reminds me of summertime, no matter what time of year it is. I finally made my own Homemade Cherry Limeade recipe (there’s a regular and a cocktail version), but that just wasn’t enough. 

I had to take it up a notch and create this amazing Cherry Limeade Margarita recipe for the ultimate summer happy hour. And better yet, it’s a FROZEN cherry limeade margarita, because icy drinks are a necessity on pool days.

Becky’s Tips

*Tart cherry juice is not the same as bing or sweet cherry juice. I found it in the organic section of my grocery store. Grenadine will also work, but tart cherry juice is better if you can find it.

**A standard-sized blender holds about 12 cups. If you’re going to make several batches of frozen margaritas, you may want to buy a bag of ice at the store.

***Don’t skip the garnishes for full effect. Salt the glass rims, and pile on the maraschino cherries and lime slices!
