Strawberry Margarita Punch recipe
I love to transform a delicious strawberry margarita into a sparkling party punch to serve at parties, showers, and even weekend brunches. It’s perfect to serve a crowd, and you only need a few things—just mix and serve.
Tips for Beginners
- Frozen strawberries are best for convenience, but they also act as an icy component to keep the punch cool.
- You can use fresh strawberries; however, they will create a foam after blending, which you may want to skim off. They also won’t have the icy texture of frozen, but you can add in ice to balance it out.
- If the strawberry lime punch mixture (before adding in the alcohol) is too tart, stir in a cup or two of water to dilute and balance out the flavor to your liking.
- For a non-alcoholic punch, skip the champagne and tequila. Use club soda, sparkling cider, sparkling juices, or another fizzy drink to keep the sparkling quality of this recipe, but it tastes pretty good without it, too.

- Pour strawberry mixture into a very large pitcher or punch bowl and stir in the limeade concentrate. Pour in the orange juice and stir to combine. Give it a taste. I love it just like this, but if you find it too tart, add 1-2 cups water. 1 can frozen limeade concentrate, 2 cups orange juice
- Stir in the tequila and champagne and garnish with fresh lime and strawberry slices. 1/2 cup Blanco Tequila, 1 bottle dry champagne, fresh limes and strawberries for garnish
- Serve immediately as the frozen strawberries and limeade concentrate will keep things cold, or store in the fridge and serve over ice. (Give it a good stir before serving)
- Cheers!

Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately as the frozen strawberries and limeade concentrate will keep things cold, or store in the fridge and serve over ice. Give it a good stir before serving. Cheers!
How to Store Strawberry Margarita Punch
This champagne punch is best if served right after making–and since it only takes about 5-10 minutes, I recommend waiting until right before the party. If you do want to make it ahead of time, or if you have leftovers, simply store it in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before drinking.
Serving Suggestions
This punch makes a great cocktail for any party, so you’ll probably want to serve it up with plenty of appetizers. Try our fruity bruschetta , a sweet and savory combo your guests will love. And don’t forget our Instant Pot Queso an ultra-creamy, zesty cheese dip. And if you really want to celebrate, make any of these Cinco de Mayo appetizers !

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
