It really is tough to beat a Margarita. With its salted rim and sour lime juice, the tequila-based tipple has long held a special place in the world’s collective hearts. It’s the most ordered cocktail in the US and, according to research done in 2008 by the beverage industry, Americans consume some 185,000 Margaritas per hour. The vast majority of them are probably enjoyed on National Margarita Day, which falls on February 22 each year.
As much as we love the original Marg, there have been plenty of variations on this Mexican magic over the years, from the Spicy Jalapeño Margarita to one of our favourites, the Strawberry Margarita. With just five ingredients, this fresh Strawberry Margarita recipe is super simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
The addition of strawberries brings a berry sweetness to the icy cocktail, making it the perfect choice for warm summer days with friends – this recipe conveniently makes five drinks at a time. Sweet and sour unite, in the form of sugar and lime, to balance the final taste, and because this is a blended cocktail, you’ll have plenty to go around at a party or as a palate-tickler before a dinner party kicks off. Just don’t be surprised if your guests request another round.
