This raspberry margarita is a fruity take on the classic that’s perfect for berry season, and special occasions of all kinds. It’s fresh raspberries blended up with tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup, then served in a glass with a sweet and salty rim. It’s easy to make, and it’s ready in just 5 minutes!
Treat your tastebuds to this tangy raspberry margarita—it’s fresh, vibrant, and bursting with real raspberry flavor. The secret is skipping syrups and mixes and blending in fresh raspberries instead, which gives the drink a little body and an almost creamy texture without adding anything heavy. The result is bright, juicy, and wonderfully balanced.
I keep this recipe intentionally simple with just raspberries, blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, and a touch of agave for sweetness. Everything gets blended until smooth, then strained and poured over ice for a clean, refreshing sip. A sweet-and-salty rim made from a quick mix of sea salt and sugar is optional, but it adds a fun, special touch that really complements the tart berries and citrus.
This is the margarita I reach for in the summer when raspberries are ripe and at their best, though frozen berries will work in a pinch. Garnished with extra raspberries, lime slices, and a sprig of mint, it’s an easy, fresh cocktail that feels celebratory without being fussy.
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, just be sure to thaw them first.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes, this is a good cocktail to make ahead of time. Blend it all up, then store it in your fridge until you’re ready to serve. Stir it with ice, then strain it into a prepared glass and garnish.
Do I need triple sec or Cointreau?
Not for this recipe! Classic margarita recipes call for triple sec, but the raspberries add lots of fruity flavor.
What’s the best type of glass to use?
We use a simple rocks glass, but you can use a margarita glass if you prefer for extra flair.
How do I make a pitcher of raspberry margarita?
To make a pitcher, simply double the recipe (for 8 servings)!
