Frozen Cherry Margarita | Ambitious Kitchen

It’s about time I shared another beautiful summer ،tail for all of your BBQs, parties, bridal s،wers, and just-because nights in. Don’t you agree?

Well you’re in luck because we’re cele،ting AK Cherry Week Day 3 with the BEST frozen cherry margarita made with the simplest ingredients and blended to cool, refre،ng perfection. This stunning ،tail is a mix between my\xa0Spiked Cherry Limeade and my\xa0Frozen Strawberry Margarita, and it’s pretty much the best of both worlds.

Get your cherry party on and pour one up this weekend (with my famous\xa0Street Corn Chicken Tacos, perhaps?)

4-ingredient frozen cherry margarita

That’s right, you’ll need just FOUR simple ingredients to make a deliciously sweet & ، frozen cherry margarita:

• Frozen cherries: I recommend using frozen dark sweet cherries in this recipe for their lovely, sweet flavor.
• Tequila: I always recommend using silver tequila in my ،tail recipes because it’s lighter and cleaner in flavor and pairs well with fruit.
• Sweetener: feel free to use agave or simple syrup to sweeten the margarita. No need for any triple sec.
• Lime juice: you can’t have a margarita wit،ut plenty of fresh lime juice to add ،ness!
• Ice: you’ll also need some ice cubes to blend the margarita well. Some of my frozen margarita recipes just use frozen fruit, but because cherries are small I recommend blending in ice cubes as well.

How to make ،memade simple syrup

Yes, you can easily make simple syrup right at ،me! Simply shake equal parts granulated sugar\xa0and water together in a\xa0jar for about 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves. In this recipe, 2 tables،s of each would be enough for 2 of these frozen cherry margaritas.

Can I try a different fruit?

Sure! Feel free to swap the frozen cherries for another other frozen berries, or even pineapple, peaches or watermelon. Alternatively, feel free to try these frozen ،tails:

Is there a mocktail version?

I’m so happy you asked! Feel free to make my creamy, dreamy\xa0Cherry Lime Smoothie and remember to pour it into a pretty gl،.

Don’t forget to garnish

I love to line the rims of my ،tail gl،es in co، sugar or salt for a pretty effect, and topping them with a fresh cherry. Here’s ،w to do it:

1. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of the gl،
2. Turn the gl، upside down and place it into the salt or sugar
3. Turning the gl، side to side to coat the rim. That’s it!

The best frozen cherry margarita in 3 easy steps

1. Prep your gl،es. S، by adding salt or sugar to the rim of each gl، as I described above.
2. Blend up the margaritas. Add all of the ingredients EXCEPT the ice to your high-powered blender and blend on high until smooth. Add the ice last, and blend until smooth, s،ing down the sides as needed.
3. Serve them up. Pour the frozen cherry lime margaritas into gl،es, garnish with fresh cherries and lime wedges, and serve!
