![]() I recommend placing the frozen raspberries at the bottom of the blender to get them as smooth as possible.But frozen raspberries are often less sweet than fresh, so you might need the extra maple. Using frozen raspberries is cheaper and makes the drink colder.If you like it sweeter, add a touch more maple syrup, blend, taste, pour and it’s ready to sip. You basically add all the ingredients to a blender and blend them together. Once the margarita is ready, pour, garnish and serve.Dip the rim of the glass into the liquid and then the sugar.Add a little water or lime juice to a shallow bowl.Ice – what you see in the photos was made with the upper amount of ice + a handful extra.Maple syrup or simple syrup – I wanted to naturally sweeten this margarita, so I used maple syrup, and it was perfect.If you use fresh, your drink will be much thinner – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Fresh or frozen raspberries – I use frozen because they’re cheapest and make the drink nice and cold.Freshly squeezed lime juice – please don’t use bottled! It makes such a difference in this drink (and desserts, like these no-bake key lime pies!).I have and use both and don’t prefer one over another. Cointreau or triple sec – I write about the differences below.This margarita is so easy that the recipe can quickly be made into a big batch to serve a larger crowd. So up today, we have a refreshing, slightly slushy, rosy twist on a classic margarita made especially for weekends! I recently posted this Limoncello Spritz and thought I’d continue with the summery drinks. Something nice for Cinco de Mayo if that’s something you celebrate. This Raspberry Margarita is nice and sweet, though. I hope soon! But until then, I don’t have many sweets to share. My usual photographer (I stopped taking my own photos when my son was born) hasn’t been able to send me any of the recipes I sent her after Christmas.Īnd I have no idea when I’ll get them. If you follow my blog, you might be wondering where the desserts are. It’s also naturally vegan and gluten-free.

If you want to try a super refreshing drink without the alcohol you could use sweet & sour mix or lime juice and the juice of half of an orange.This Raspberry Margarita has zip and zing with freshly squeezed lime juice and blushes full of crimson color. If you don’t have any or can’t find it you could use lemon juice and a bit of sugar, all to taste but start small and add if you need it. I thought it would add a bit more sweetness and 2. I used some sweet & sour mix in this version for two reasons 1. I think that the orange flavor of the Grand Marnier really brings out the raspberry flavor. I really could taste the freshness and it was the biggest flavor of the drink. ![]() You can absolutely make this with frozen berries and just cut back on the amount of ice that you use but I think if it’s summer and you can get your hands on them DO. This drink has so much flavor! The first thing you taste is fresh raspberries. I generally like to drink them on the rocks but every once in a while I want a blended drink and this was one of those days. There are just so many combinations that you could make with different flavors or blending them or just serving them on the rocks. It may be that I lived in California and Arizona the last 17 years or it could be that a margarita is just THE most refreshing drink ever! I love the flexibility of a margarita. When I think of summer I think of margaritas. We would end up with way too many leftovers if I didn’t take advantage of guests and their ability to eat (and take home) a lot of the food. With the blog I do a lot of cooking as you can imagine. ![]() It also means that I can try out new recipes on unsuspecting friends.
