This strawberry margarita is the perfect drink to cool you off in the summer.

I’m curious – do you prefer your margaritas frozen or on the rocks? And what’s your favorite type of tequila? Tip: if using fresh strawberries, you may want to use 3-4 cups of ice. Don’t pick something that needs to be mixed in order to taste tolerable, because that’s not going to enhance this drink! My rule of thumb is to pick a tequila that you can drink straight – that is going to give you the best taste. Gold tequila is probably what you would refer to as the “cheap stuff” – while reposado is aged tequila and apparently gets smoother as you increase in vintage. On either side of that, you have two versions of “yellow” tequila – gold tequila or reposado.

Personally, I can only handle silver tequila which features the blue agave in it’s purest form. RELATED: Looking for another classy but tasty drink recipe? Check out our Lavender Rose Spritzer!

Sweet strawberries, tart lime juice, and salt – so your tongue doesn’t focus too much on the sharpness of the tequila. You have all these delicious flavors intermingling and working together. I also find that the taste of tequila is a little smoother in these frozen margaritas – especially with that salted rim.

I think both are perfectly delicious and acceptable, but this frozen version is definitely more fun for celebrating and is perfect for cooling off your tongue after some spicy dishes, like this Chicken Enchilada Dip or these Spicy Fish Tacos. The ever-growing divide between margarita lovers remains: frozen or on the rocks? We also love a margarita on the rocks, they both scream summer! This Strawberry Margarita is the best way to enjoy tequila! A perfectly balanced cocktail for those who love the taste of tequila without the bite.
