A delicious summery twist on my beloved Margaritas. Perhaps the only way to improve the classic recipe – just add mango and strawberry! A summertime-approved crowd pleaser :)
‘Tis the season for enjoying yummy cold drinks on the deck — and all the better when made with fresh fruit!
My faithful readers know I’m always a fan of anything mango. But since I had some fresh strawberries needing to be used up in the fridge, decided to try making some strawberry-mango margaritas. I don’t know how you could really go wrong with those two… :) But thankfully, the margaritas turned out delicious! The strawberry and mango flavors were actually fairly mild, so if you want them to be really fruity, I’d add in even a little more fruit. But this ratio made a delicious margarita that everyone definitely enjoyed!
For those looking for a non-alcoholic margarita, this would also be a yummy option. Just leave out the alcohol, and if you’d like, sub in a little extra fruit juice (strawberry, mango, limeade, or orange juice could work) instead.
So if you’re looking for a fun, fruity drink to enjoy in the heat of summer (or as a bit of inspiration in the winter!), pull out your blender and give this one a try!

optional garnishes: fresh strawberries, diced mangoes, lime wedges, and/or salt for the rims of glasses
Instructions
Combine strawberries, ice, tequila, lime juice, sugar, and liqueur in a blender, and process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the margaritas into 4 large glasses. Garnish margaritas with a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately.
Ali’s Tip:
Feel free to experiment with other favorite fruits in this as well! (Just be sure that you have about 3-4 cups of fruit in there.) Some other fun options might be: blackberries, blueberries, peaches, apricots, plums, etc…
Hi Ali,
Love your blog! I have found that a tiny bit of vanilla extract really punches up fresh fruit flavors… Probably about half a teaspoon in this recipe.
U left one part out, what kind of salt around glasses, n how does it stick, im green at this

Hey :-) In case you didnt get you’re answer, any type of salt will do. To make it stick to the glasses, I use a plate, drizzle on some lime juice, then turn the glass upside down to coat the rim with the juice. Do the same with the salt and it’ll stick just fine! ;-) Another good option we use around here is replacing the salt for sugar!

These look fantastic!
What a lovely and refreshing summer drink! I have a bunch of strawberries and mangoes that are begging to be used for this…
Interesting. I might have to investigate this myself!
fresh strawberries will be coming in about 2 months from now…..my mouth is watering already!

These are delicious. I didn’t use the 1/4 cup sugar. The Cointreau and the berries and ripe mango add plenty of sweet.
