Equipment
- High powered blender
- Citrus juicer
- Cocktail glasses
- Small plate for rimming
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups frozen strawberries or fresh with extra ice
- 3 oz blanco tequila good quality
- 1 oz sugar-free orange liqueur or 1/4 tsp orange extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener adjust to taste
- 1.5 cups ice
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt or Tajin for rimming glasses, optional
- 1 lime wedge for rimming and garnish
- 4 fresh strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your glasses by placing them in the freezer for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This keeps your frozen margaritas icy cold for longer.
- Rim the glasses by running a lime wedge around the edge of each chilled glass, then dipping the rim into a small plate of coarse salt or Tajin. Set aside.
- Add the frozen strawberries, blanco tequila, sugar-free orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, powdered erythritol, and ice to a high-powered blender.
- Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slushy. If the blender struggles, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to help it along.
- Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness with a little more erythritol or brightness with a squeeze of extra lime juice as needed.
- Pour the frozen margarita evenly into the prepared rimmed glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry slice and a lime wedge. Serve immediately for the best frozen texture.
Notes
Always use powdered erythritol or liquid monk fruit sweetener rather than granular for smooth, grit-free blended drinks. Blend just until smooth to prevent the ice from melting too fast and thinning the texture. For a keto strawberry daiquiri variation, swap tequila for rum. Leftovers can be frozen in a sealed container for up to 2 days and re-blended before serving.
