Nonalcoholic Strawberry Margaritas Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Frozen strawberries: If you dont have em, you can use fresh strawberries and throw in extra ice to chill the drink

Pro Tips

1. Try pre-chilling your water and ice before blending, it helps keep the drink extra cold and makes the texture smoother.
2. Taste it halfway through blending, cause sometimes the tartness or sweetness might need a little tweak and it’s easier to fix before blending it all together.
3. Instead of running the blender non-stop, use short bursts and pauses so the motor doesn’t overheat and you get a more consistent slushy texture.
4. For a creative twist, experiment with adding a tiny pinch of salt after blending to enhance the flavors without overpowering the original drink.
