These Raspberry Margaritas combine a little tequila, Grand Marnier, and lime for a delicious party cocktail. There is nothing quite like a Raspberry Margarita with an abundance of fresh raspberry flavor. Raspberries are delicate, sweet, and flavorful, and they are a favorite of all ages. They are a mouth-watering taste sensation!
Tasty Frozen Raspberry Margaritas
Fresh berries make such a pretty cocktail for those special occasions and parties. I love to serve these for spring and summer holidays like Easter, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Served as a slushy, ice-cold refreshing beverage or even dessert, it is sure to cool you off on those hot summer days on the patio or by the pool. They are so quick to come together that you can make them on the fly for unexpected quests.
For a little added sweetness, rim the glasses with sugar instead of salt. After all, raspberries are sometimes a little tart, and a little bit of sweetness complements them perfectly.
When selecting raspberries, pick brightly colored, plump berries. As with all berries, avoid any that show signs of spoilage or mold. Fresh raspberries are fragile and highly perishable. Keep them in your refrigerator and use them within two days.
What You’ll Need
- Sugar: granulated sugar, and coarse granulated sugar is even better
- Raspberries: fresh is always best, but frozen works too
- Grand Marnier: or Cointreau or triple sec (with triple sec being the least expensive)
- Tequila: white, silver, or Blanco
- Limes: for juice and lime wedges for garnish
- Ice: for that frozen refreshing texture
How To Make a Raspberry Margarita
Start by spreading a little sugar on a shallow plate. Next, run the rim of the glasses with a lime slice. Dredge the rim into the sugar. Add Grand Marnier, tequila, lime juice, raspberries, and a little bit of ice to a blender. Blend until combined. Add more ice to the desired consistency. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Garnish with lime slices and raspberries.
Tips and Tricks
- Grand Marnier and Cointreau are pricey. Triple Sec is more budget-friendly and a good substitute.
- Swap the raspberries in this recipe for blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, or mango.
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries.
- If you prefer the traditional components of the margarita, salt the rim. Either way, it’s delicious.
