Honey Stawberry Margarita™
Honey Stawberry Margarita™
A smooth strawberry treat with a sweet surprise.
1 Cup Reposado Tequila
1 Pint fresh strawberries
2 Cups ice cubes (1.5 trays)
1/3 Cup clover honey
1.5 Cups frozen limeade or Cuervo lime tequila mix (aka lame-ade)
Combine everything except honey in 40+ ounce blender. Run several bursts on "ice crusher" setting, until strawberries are liquefied and ice is ground up. Add honey and blend. Serve in chilled margarita glasses.
Originally mixed with no sweetener, this one was a little too tart. At first I reached for cane sugar, but then the words "strawberry blonde" flashed in my mind, just as a large jar of honey crossed my field of vision. The Honey Strawberry Margarita was born.
Margaritas typically contain triple sec. My omission of it here was a happy accident. I must try it with Triple Sec next time. Always experimenting, refining. In another accidental discovery, I found that this drink is incredibly delicious and refreshing with sesame tortilla chips and smoky chipotle salsa.
Sadly, after creating this concoction, I discovered that mine was not the first honey margarita. See Golden Honey Margarita. Note that mine is a strawberry margarita, and without Triple Sec.
The margarita is the most common of tequila-based cocktails, made with Triple Sec and lime juice. In other languages, margarita is the Latin word for pearl; and Spanish for the daisy flower, which is also the name of a similar cocktail.

Monte-I just discovered this blog and love it! I will be trying out at least one of these recipes this weekend! I am sure you already know Grand Marnier makes a great substitute for Triple Sec.
I have arguably the best Mango Margarita recipe ever! (I know, kind of a bold statement) that my husband and I invented/perfected through many batches of "reserach". Before I share it, I want to know if you are still active on this blog- email me at jamorg@microsoft.com
I hope you continue this blog!!!
Jamie,
I have not posted in awhile, but I'm still excited about amateur mixologist. My mixology tools and supplies are packed in storage pods, but all that is about to change. I'd love to see your recipe(s)!
Hi Monte,
Here it is. I don't know if you have a Trader Joe's where you live. If not, I would cut up fresh mango and freeze it first- it makes them much slushier!
In a blender put ½ bag of frozen Trader Joe's Frozen Mango Chunks
Fill with ice to one inch below top of the blender
Pour in 1/3 pitcher of tequila
Pour in 1/3 pitcher of triple sec
Pour in 1/3 pitcher of margarita mix
Leave liquid 1 inch from the top
Blend
More recipes to come!
Jamie
Sounds yummy. Can't wait to unpack my blender. :)
