Easy margaritas! The hardest thing you will have to do for this recipe is squeeze the fresh citrus and chop fresh fruit. No blender necessary, but you most certainly could blend the fresh fruit.

Fresh is best when it comes to margaritas!

You may be tempted to use frozen fruit for this recipe, but don’t! Lol! The fresh fruit will be sweeter, in most cases. Same goes for fresh lime, lemon and orange juice. I use the peel from the citrus to prepare simple syrup. It’s easy!

Piña! Pineapple!

Most of you that have been following me for a while know that my dad gave me the nickname piñita as a baby. Piñita is little pineapple in Spanish. I love everything pineapple!

Sandia! Watermelon!

Doesn’t watermelon remind you of a hot summer’s day? Ice and watermelon just belong together, lol!

Easy Margaritas

I tend to color outside of the lines when it comes to cooking!

When I prepare margaritas, I like to mix my fresh citrus juice.Instead of all limes, I use half limes, half lemons and throw in one or two squeezed oranges just to add a little sweetness.

Easy Margaritas

I actually prefer using chamoy to dip my glasses into instead of lime juice. Because it’s thicker, the salt and chile limon powder stick a lot better.

Try to pick the ripest fruits for better tasting margaritas.

Notes

I like to add at least 1/4 cup of chopped fresh fruit to these simple and fresh margaritas. For more fruit flavor, you could add 1/4 cup of your favorite natural fruit juice or agua fresca.
Orange liqueur is good, but I really suggest you switch it out for fresh squeezed orange juice! So refreshing!
