A vibrant and refreshing frozen margarita featuring layered red strawberries, creamy white coconut, and blue blueberries. Perfect for summer parties with just three simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup silver tequila
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat, shaken well)
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup or simple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • Ice cubes (about 2 cups, adjust for desired thickness)
  • Coarse salt or sugar for rimming glasses (optional)
  • Lime wedges and fresh berries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into coarse salt or sugar. Set aside to dry slightly (about 5 minutes).
  2. Blend the red layer: Add frozen strawberries, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, and 2/3 cup ice cubes into the blender. Blend until smooth but thick enough to layer (30-45 seconds). Pour evenly into each glass, filling about one-third. Rinse blender.
  3. Blend the white layer: Combine coconut milk, agave syrup (if using), 1/4 cup tequila, and 2/3 cup ice cubes. Pulse on medium speed for 30 seconds until creamy but pourable. Gently layer over the red layer using a spoon. Fill glasses to two-thirds. Rinse blender.
  4. Blend the blue layer: Blend frozen blueberries, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, and 2/3 cup ice cubes until smooth and thick. Spoon carefully over the white layer to fill the glass.
  5. Garnish and serve: Add lime wedges and fresh berries on top. Serve immediately with a straw or festive stirrer.

Notes

Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct. Use frozen fruit for best texture. Chill glasses before serving. For a mocktail, replace tequila with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Adjust sweetness with agave or simple syrup as desired.
