Print Recipe

A vibrant, slushy frozen margarita blending sweet strawberries with a subtle jalapeño kick, perfect for summer parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries (about 600g), hulled and halved (or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, sliced (seeds included for more heat, remove seeds for milder flavor)
  • 1 ½ cups silver tequila (360ml), good-quality brand like Casamigos or Espolòn
  • ½ cup triple sec or orange liqueur (120ml)
  • ¾ cup fresh lime juice (180ml), about 6-8 limes, freshly squeezed
  • ½ cup simple syrup (120ml), homemade or store-bought (adjust to taste; can substitute with agave nectar)
  • 4 cups crushed ice (about 1 liter)
  • Coarse salt or Tajín for rimming glasses (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the jalapeño into thin rounds. Remove seeds for milder heat or keep seeds for full heat. Set aside about 2 slices for garnish.
  2. Combine sliced jalapeño with silver tequila in a small jar or bowl. Let infuse for 15-30 minutes.
  3. Roll limes on the counter and squeeze to get ¾ cup fresh lime juice. Strain out seeds.
  4. In a high-speed blender, add fresh strawberries, infused tequila (remove jalapeño slices unless extra heat is desired), triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and crushed ice.
  5. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until thick and slushy. Scrape sides as needed.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if too tart, add water or tequila if too thick, or blend in fresh strawberries if too spicy.
  7. Pour the frozen mixture into a chilled pitcher and keep refrigerated or in the freezer for up to an hour before serving.
  8. Run a lime wedge around glass rims and dip into coarse salt or Tajín.
  9. Serve margaritas in glasses garnished with reserved jalapeño slices and a strawberry.

Notes

Keep ice crushed or in small chunks for smooth blending. Infuse tequila with jalapeño to mellow heat. Adjust sweetness gradually after blending. Chill pitcher and glasses before serving for best frostiness. Prepare jalapeño-infused tequila ahead to save time and deepen flavor.
