    Frozen margarita with a strawberry and lime wedge on the rim of the glass.

    A deliciously easy strawberry mango margarita made in minutes with chunks of frozen fruit! This frozen margarita recipe is thick, not too sweet, and perfect for Cinco de Mayo or those summer parties.

    Glass of frozen strawberry mango margarita garnished with a strawberry and lime wedge.

    Hey! What’s up? Today I’m bringing you a yummy, thirst quenching, super thick, frozen margarita recipe, perfect for Cinco de Mayo! Sound good?

    Now, I’m going to give you fair warning; these strawberry mango margaritas are little tricksters. 

    Why?

    They taste deliciously fruity and sweet and you hardly realize that there’s tequila in there.

    Watch out, because after one or two they may knock you on your little butt. I may speak from experience. 

    One drink and I’m good. Two and I’m gone to sleep (or playing piano; honestly, it could go either way). 

    Then again maybe it’s just getting older? Hmm …

    And, for the record, I’m a hugger. However, every now and then upon leaving a larger party, I  go the route of an Irish exit.’ What’s that, you ask?’ Well, it’s quietly departing the party without telling anyone.  No fuss, no muss. Feel me?

    Margarita Ingredients

    Traditionally, classic margaritas consist of:

    • Tequila
    • Orange liqueur
    • Lime juice
    • Salt rimmed glass

    For a margarita, one can

    • Shake the above ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, strain, pour into a salt rimmed glass and enjoy or
    • Strain, pour into a salt rimmed glass and add more (fresh) ice to the glass or
    • Shake and pour everything (including shaker ice) into a salt rimmed glass

    A frozen margarita, especially fruity margaritas (like this one) has the addition of fruit, in this case frozen strawberry and frozen mango. There’s also coconut water (for flavour and to thing things) and a touch of sugar.

    Half of a fresh strawberry.

    How to Make Frozen Margarita

    So, today, we are taking things a step further and making a frozen margarita recipe. 

    The difference between a frozen margarita and a classic margarita is basically the consistency. 

    For a frozen margarita the ice is typically crushed and everything is added to the blender to make a nice thick cocktail, a slushy consistency.

    Whereas, a classic margarita is more of a traditional style cocktail, with or without ice cubes. So, to make a frozen margarita:

    1. Rub a lime wedge around the top of a margarita glass to moisten.
    2. Place a little sugar and salt on a plate and mix together.
    3. Invert glass into the sugar/salt mixture to coat the rim.
    4. Then, in a blender, combine frozen strawberry, mango, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, coconut water, crushed ice and a touch of sugar. Blend until smooth!
    5. Pour into prepared glasses, garnish (optional) and enjoy!

    Can I Make a Non-Alcoholic Frozen Margarita?

    Yes! It’s a delicious treat, especially in the warm summer months.

    If opting for a alcohol free margarita, simply replace the tequila with more coconut water and replace the orange liqueur with extra orange juice (optional, add in a little orange zest for an extra pop of flavour).

    How Do You Make Frozen Drinks Thick?

    This frozen strawberry margarita is super thick (which is how I love them). If you use fresh fruit here and find that it’s not quite thick enough (or you just like your frozen margarita really really thick), add a little more crushed ice (start with ½ cup). Blend in and see how you like it. Add more, if necessary.

    More Recipe Tips

    If you want a looser (thinner) consistency, just add a little more coconut water (or orange juice). Keep in mind that a little at a time because a little goes a long way.

    I used frozen fruit in this recipe (which I love). I find it lends itself to a deliciously slushy, cold, refreshing cocktail, which is just what you are looking for when you are talking margaritas.

    The rim of this frozen cocktail was a salt/sugar mixture because I love salty and sweet combos. However, if you prefer you could use all salt or all sugar. You do you!

    I blended a little sugar into this frozen margarita recipe. Like things sweeter? Simply add a little more.

    Used crushed ice here (not cubed). It makes things a lot easier on your blender.

    What to Serve with Margaritas

    • Easy Shrimp Tacos
    • Oven Baked Fish Tacos
    • Chunky black bean and Corn Salsa
    • Guacamole
    • Tortilla Pinwheels from Kathy of Beyond the Chicken Coop

    Ingredients
      

    Strawberry Mango Margarita

    • 1.5 cup sliced frozen strawberries
    • 1 cup frozen mango cubes
    • ⅓ cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
    • 3 ounces tequila
    • 2 ounces orange liqueur
    • ⅓ coconut water (or orange juice) (or more, depending on how thick you like it)
    • 1 cup crushed ice
    • 1 tablespoon white sugar (or to taste)

    Garnish

    • ½ tablespoon white sugar
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • lime wedge (optional)
    • strawberry (optional)

    Instructions

    Garnish (sugar & salt mixture around rim of glass)

    • Place sugar and salt on a plate and stir to combine. Rub a wedge of lime along the rim of margarita glasses to wet. Dip lime rubbed glass in sugar to coat the rim. Set glasses aside.

    Strawberry Mango Margarita

    • To a blender, add strawberries, mango, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, coconut water (or orange juice), ice and sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape sides with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Mixture will be thick. If you want a looser (thinner) consistency, add more coconut water (or orange juice) until you've reached the thickness you like. And if you like it sweeter, add more sugar to taste.
    • Divide mixture between two margarita glasses and garnish (if desired) with a wedge of lime and strawberry. Enjoy!

      Dawn, these deceptively drunken strawberry mango margaritas sound AHMAZING! I know well how the combo of strawberries and mangoes can mask the alcohol in a drink – once I got to a friends place a while before a party was to start. He and his wife were mixing drinks and had me taste test one strawberry mango concoction – gosh, it tasted so good I chugged the whole cup and had to sit down promptly there after and wait for the room to stop spinning! Now I know the importance of a sip! 🙂

      Oh my! She is a beauty. I think I was having too many margaritas last week and missed this lovely one. Love the frozen strawberry idea – brilliant. It is funny cuz these days the kids want in on the adult drinks. This is perfect because I can skip the alcohol on theirs and voila, or olay rather, and we are all set.

I have to go though the entire room(s) to say good-bye to everyone and hug and kiss them, especially when I’m tipsy. lol! Seriously thou, it does take a while for me to leave a party once I start saying “goodbye”. heeheehee

      Happy Cinco de Mayo! Mmm, these margaritas look tasty – but tequila and I are NOT friends, so I’d totally sub in vodka instead. Vodka & I get along! And it’s funny that you mention piano playing while tipsy… My husband and I tend to break out the guitar (he plays) and I hop on the piano to jam out while drinking wine! So fun 🙂

      This is one stunning drink, Dawn! Margaritas are my favorite, especially with strawberry added because I go crazy for a drink that’s tasty and pretty :). But with mango in there too? YASSSS! I’m definitely an Irish exit-er. I didn’t know there was a term for it but since I’m like half Irish I guess it makes sense? Have a happy Cinco de Mayo and an awesome weekend!

      Tequila gets me every time, too! I can’t drink it straight, but in margaritas, sign me up! It is dangerous, though, but so worth it! I’m loving this strawberry mango margarita, Dawn! My husband and I LOVE the frozen versions of margaritas, and I know we would both adore this one. And even better that you can’t taste the liquor in it. I’m definitely going to try this the next time I make homemade margaritas. Love that pretty color! Pinned, of course! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

      Oh, I could so get on board the Margarita Train! (woot woot) In fact, I plan on getting a ticket tomorrow. 🙂 I love the mango addition to this one…it sounds like the perfect fruity drink on a hot summer day. So I’ve never heard about the Irish Exit, but I am totally guilty of doing that. Sometimes it’s just easier to duck out quietly! Laura and I have been working on our jalapeno margarita recipe, but I’m thinking this would be a nice way to mix it up. Sometimes that jalapeno one can sneak up and burn your tastebuds right off! Have a great day, Dawn!

    Hi and welcome to Girl Heart Food! I’m Dawn and I’m so happy you stopped by. I LOVE to cook and share my recipes. I’m obsessed with cheese, fresh veggies and homemade nut butters. Being in the kitchen is my happy place. Hope you find something that inspires you to get into the kitchen too.
