Strawberry Habanero Margarita – Strawberries and small amounts of habanero are muddled together and shaken with lime juice, agave, and tequila before pouring over ice
Margarita’s are one of my favorite drinks so if I see a new version of a margarita on a menu, you can almost guarantee that I will want to try it. When I saw this Strawberry Habanero Margarita on the menu at a local spot, I was intrigued and ordered it immediately.
Since it was the only margarita on the menu, I didn’t really let the habanero scare me away. I had no other choices and me wanted some tequila. But I am so glad I tried it. It was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy and refreshing, all at once. I loved it!
So today I have my version for you to try for yourself. Unlike many of my other drink recipes, this recipe is for 1 serving. However, you can easy double, triple or quadruple the recipe to make more.
Here is my Strawberry Habanero Margarita!
Making this margarita
There is really nothing difficult about making this margarita. First, you muddle the strawberry and habanero together. You want to try to get out as much juice as possible from the strawberries. This will serve as the base for the drink. Strain out the excess fruit pulp and pepper slices.
Next the juice is shaken with ice, tequila, lime juice, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. The mixture is poured over ice in a short salt-rimmed glass. And that’s all there is to it!
Tips & Tricks
- Muddling the fruit. You want to try to get out as much juice as possible from the strawberries. This will serve as the base for the drink.
- Minimal habanero. Use very little habanero in this drink. It’s a very spicy pepper so a little goes a long way.
- Making a pitcher. This recipe yields 1 drink. If you want to make a pitcher, multiply the recipe by 6. Instead of muddling the fruit and pepper, blend them in a blender and strain out the pulp. You also may want to reduce the pepper used if you choose to blend it. Blending will make it spicier. You can always add more later but you can’t take it away once you’ve blended it in.

Strawberry Habanero Margarita, this is amazing, it tastes really delicious to drink while enjoying dinner.
What I love about NetherSX2 is that it supports external controllers. Pairing it with a Bluetooth gamepad transforms my phone into a full-blown gaming console. Games look great and run at full speed if your device is strong enough.
