Strawberry Margarita Punch recipe
I love to transform a delicious strawberry margarita into a sparkling party punch to serve at parties, showers, and even weekend brunches. It’s perfect to serve a crowd, and you only need a few things—just mix and serve.
Tips for Beginners
- Frozen strawberries are best for convenience, but they also act as an icy component to keep the punch cool.
- You can use fresh strawberries; however, they will create a foam after blending, which you may want to skim off. They also won’t have the icy texture of frozen, but you can add in ice to balance it out.
- If the strawberry lime punch mixture (before adding in the alcohol) is too tart, stir in a cup or two of water to dilute and balance out the flavor to your liking.
- For a non-alcoholic punch, skip the champagne and tequila. Use club soda, sparkling cider, sparkling juices, or another fizzy drink to keep the sparkling quality of this recipe, but it tastes pretty good without it, too.

Transfer to a pitcher: Pour the strawberry mixture into a very large pitcher or punch bowl and stir in 1 can of limeade concentrate. Pour in 2 cups of orange juice and stir to combine. Give it a taste. I love it just like this, but if you find it too tart, add 1-2 cups water.

Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately as the frozen strawberries and limeade concentrate will keep things cold, or store in the fridge and serve over ice. Give it a good stir before serving. Cheers!
How to Store Strawberry Margarita Punch
This champagne punch is best if served right after making–and since it only takes about 5-10 minutes, I recommend waiting until right before the party. If you do want to make it ahead of time, or if you have leftovers, simply store it in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before drinking.
Serving Suggestions
This punch makes a great cocktail for any party, so you’ll probably want to serve it up with plenty of appetizers. Try our fruity bruschetta, a sweet and savory combo your guests will love. And don’t forget our Instant Pot Queso an ultra-creamy, zesty cheese dip. And if you really want to celebrate, make any of these Cinco de Mayo appetizers!
