Who doesn’t like a frozen Margarita on a hot day? This blend of fresh pineapple and strawberries will make you feel like you could be on a beach in Mexico under a palm tree with your feet digging into the sand.

Making the Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margarita

Making this frozen Margarita from scratch is very simple. After you’ve cut a fresh pineapple into cubes and washed off a few fresh strawberries, set them aside. In a blender, add the following ingredients: liquor, orange juice, sugar, ice, pineapple and strawberries. Blend ingredients for a minute or two on high until smooth and frothy.

Here’s a 2 min You Tube video on how to cut a pineapple if you haven’t done it before. It is not as hard as it seems. Just make sure your pineapple is very ripe. It will be the outside body will be yellow toward the bottom and be a bit soft. If you suspect it to be overripe, cut it open and see if it is brown inside. Chances are it is juicy, sweet and will be perfect to eat.

You may garnish this margarita with a fresh whole strawberry or a lime wedge and salt or sugar the rim if you like. I don’t like salt on my Margaritas. “What?” you may say. Yup, I don’t like a lot of salt anywhere.

This recipe makes two servings but, there is a pitcher recipe in the notes of the recipe for your convenience!

The Mexican Vacation Story

I picked up these cute hand blown blue Margarita glasses in Cancun, Mexico years ago when I was single and took a last minute vacation. Wish I could do that now because when being a mom of two toddlers, I need a vacation more now than when I worked full time and took classes at night.

That trip was so much fun. I remember the young bartender giving us free shots at the bar and another American guy stating “We got free drinks when she showed up!” I also remember the bad sunburn I got on the first day. Note to self: Apply sunscreen before you leave your hotel room! The sun is so strong there being closer to the equator.

Your deck party will be complete with this easy-to-make, Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margarita  made with fresh pineapple and strawberries. Sometimes, it’s hard to choose between this frozen margarita recipe or Watermelon Pineapple Mint Mojitos and sometimes I just make both!
