A frozen virgin strawberry margarita is a refreshing way to cool down on warm days. This margarita mocktail, which calls for only five ingredients, uses a bit of agave nectar to blunt the tartness of lime juice and fresh strawberries.

Ingredients 4 Servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whole strawberries

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup lime juice

  • ¼ cup light blue agave nectar (see Tip)

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • Lime slices for garnish

Preparation

Prep 5 m Ready In 5 m

Place strawberries, water, lime juice, agave nectar (or syrup) and salt in a blender. Pulse until loosened and chunky, about 10 pulses. Process on high until smooth, about 20 seconds. Pour into 4 glasses and garnish with lime slices, if desired.
