Can you make these Frozen Strawberry Margaritas ahead of time?
Absolutely! Whip up this margarita mix a day a head of time and keep it in the freezer. The alcohol keeps the margarita from freezing completely, it stays more in that satisfying slushy form.
Just give the mix a quick blitz in the blender to liven it up just before serving.
Can I add other flavors?
Strawberry on its own works beautifully, but you can totally add in other fruit too. Mango is great, as is raspberry – have fun with your favorite fruity flavors!
Do I have to use sugar in a Frozen Margarita?
No, you can leave out the sugar and use agave nectar. Sugar obviously adds a sweetness to proceedings but by no means is it essential.
Without the sugar you get more of a tarty punch, which is lovely too!

Really great recipe! I used a stick blender in the end & that gave me that beautiful slushy texture. Everyone loved these, even my tequila hating friend :0)
I’d call that a success! Thanks for sharing, Louise!
