Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fruit (strawberries) Fresh or frozen; see notes.
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar or sweetener Adjust to taste. If you like sweet drinks, you may need more.
  • 1/4 cup lime juice I used fresh limes.
  • 1/2-1 cup Hennessy Adjust to suit your taste and how strong you like your cocktails.
  • 2-4 cups ice Only needed if making frozen margaritas.

Instructions

Margaritas on the Rocks

  • Add the strawberries, sugar or sweetener, and water to a blender. Blend until the ingredients are combined.
  • Place a mesh strainer over a cup and strain the mixture into the cup. This will create a strawberry puree and will leave the drink with a smooth consistency.
  • Add the strawberry puree, Hennessy, and lime juice to the blender. Blend until combined.
  • Pour the margaritas over ice.

Frozen Margaritas

  • Combine all of the ingredients (including 2-4 cups of ice) to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add additional ice to thicken the margarita if necessary. Be sure to use frozen fruit if making frozen margaritas.

Notes

Fresh or frozen fruit will work for the on-the-rocks version of this recipe. If you are making frozen margaritas, use frozen fruit. For a really thick texture, you will need to use frozen fruit and plenty of ice.
You can easily swap out the fruit in this recipe and make a classic margarita using triple sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier. Use 1-2 ounces per cocktail.
The great thing about making your own cocktails is you control how it tastes. If you like sweet drinks add sugar or sweetener to suit what you want. If you like strong drinks use more liquor. You can tailor this drink to suit your needs with no need to rely solely on the recipe.
