When life hands you lemons grab the tequila and make strawberry lemonade margaritas. Now I love a good margarita. It’s my go to cocktail when I am making drinks at home. Once you have mastered your base margarita recipe you can really add any mixer that you’d like.
Since being stuck at home I don’t have a ton of options I decided for my virtual girls night I was going to test out a strawberry lemonade margarita recipe. It was so delicious I just needed to share it.
This cocktail could be compared to Applebee’s or Chili’s strawberry lemonade margarita recipe just with better tequila and for half or a quarter of the cost.
If you like margaritas you should try these cranberry margaritas or these Christmas margaritas. You can find more of my favorite cocktail recipes here. Looking for a fun summer twist on a cocktail try margarita freeze pops or strawberry lemonade vodka freeze pops.
Which Tequila should I use to make margaritas?
Tequila is all about preference. For me I like silver tequila in my margaritas. My favorite 3 silver tequilas are
- Hornitos
- Espolon
- Patron Silver
Now don’t worry if you only have gold tequila. It’s all about your personal preference and what fits in your budget. Let’s face it tequila can get expensive.

Have a can of frozen lemonade in your freezer? Dig that out and make a frozen margarita.
SALT OR SUGAR?
Now this is all about personal preference. I am a sugar or nothing girl when it comes to my margaritas. If salt even touches the rim I just can’t do it. Want to be fancy and impress your friends? Get a glass rimmer.
