If you’ve ever wondered how to make a strawberry margarita, we are here to show you! Our Strawberry Margarita recipe is a delicious variation on the popular beverage and uses real strawberries to achieve its vibrant hue and multi-layered taste.

Despite popular belief, it is difficult to determine if margaritas truly originated in Mexico.
