While we love a good strawberry daiquiri or piña colada at the beach, frozen margaritas just hold a special place in our hearts—especially when they only require a handful of ingredients and we can make them at home. Pictured Recipe: Layered Strawberry-Margo Margarita Our formula for skinny frozen margaritas is pretty healthy, since there's not a lot of added sugar (there's only ¼ cup of simple syrup divided among six servings). But they also taste plenty sweet: Frozen fruit takes care of that and gives these margs the fresh flavor we love. Whether you're a fan of frozen mango margaritas, peach margaritas, strawberry margaritas or pineapple margaritas, we've got you covered. This formula works for any fruit you've got in your freezer! Heck, you can even open up a package of frozen berries or mixed tropical fruit—it all works beautifully. To become a margarita master, it may be worth stocking up on a few essentials, like a blender (regular or high-speed will work well) We like these: Oster Master Blender ($49.99, Bed Bath & Beyond) or Vitamix Blender (it's on major sale right now from $600 to $499.95, Williams Sonoma) Set of 6 margarita glasses ($89.95, Williams Sonoma) Citrus juicer ($24.95, Williams Sonoma) How to Make Frozen Margaritas in 2 Easy Steps Ingredients: Here's the formula to help you nail frozen margaritas at home.
