If you would rather a tart margarita, I suggest even lightening up the agave used in this recipe. I’m personally not a fan of a sugary cocktail (or sugary alcoholic beverages in general), but I knew everyone around me wouldn’t enjoy such a tart drink. However, I found that adding in a bit of agave did help with sweetening up this drink by using a natural sweetner. Strawberries do have fructose in it, but the sugar content doesn’t even match up. Some margarita mixes out there are really high in sugar and even contain high-fructose corn syrup. While buying margarita mix in the liquor store is an easy (and sometimes cheaper) alternative to buying so much fruit, using fruit is actually a much healthier option for you. So we got the blender out, brought out the tequila, and went to town. The thought of making a strawberry pie was tossed around, but with the sun blazing and the lake right behind us, I had the inspiration to make some frozen margaritas. With so many strawberries on hand, we needed to do some sort of large recipe that would use them up before they went bad. After biting into one of these beauties, I knew I wouldn’t be able to buy average strawberries from the grocery store any time soon. None of them were deformed from chemicals or anything, they each had a perfect shape and perfect taste.

They were the most beautiful strawberries you ever did see. When we got to the lake this year, my mother-in-law packed two huge sheets of strawberries that she freshly picked. With a fridge stocked with strawberries, making frozen strawberry margaritas was a must! This is my third year heading up to the cabin at Ten Mile Lake, and it has become one of my favorite summer traditions. There’s nothing like a good ol’ frozen drink when you’re hanging out by the water, am I right? I just spent the most relaxing week with my in-laws up in Minnesota.
