This cocktail is quite sweet from the juice + the agave. In the recipe written below, I suggest that you can actually leave out the agave if you don’t want it to be so sweet.

If you’re at all unsure, you can easily leave the agave out, blend up the margarita, and then give it a little taste test. If you think it could do with a bit more sweetness then it’s unfussy to mix/ blend in a little of the sweetener after the fact.

I often get asked what my go-to blender is. I have several and my all-time go-to is BY FAR my Vitamix.

Simple ingredients in this frozen margarita:

  • Tequila
  • Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau of Triple Sec)
  • Agave or maple syrup for added sweetness
  • Lime juice
  • Orange juice
  • Frozen Strawberries- it’s important for them to be frozen in order to get that thick and creamy texture!

Cook notes

*this makes a rather sweet drink which I like in this case. If you’re unsure, I suggest leaving the agave out and testing it to see what you think. Then you can easily mix/ blend in a little of the sweetener if you want it sweeter.
