Don't be surprised if friends start showing up unannounced once you start blending up these cherry-packed, cool, and slushy Frozen Cherry Limeade Margaritas.

Boozy Cherry Limeade Slush

One too many drinks in, this cherry limeade margarita came together during a backyard bash where I was already mixing up limeade margaritas and blending our hearts away, making frozen cherry margaritas.

It's tart, fruity, and completely irresistible. Did I mention it's got lots of vitamin C? Blend away, my friend!

What You Need

This recipe is a version of my original cherry limeade margarita with one key difference: frozen cherries. They bring the slushy texture and real cherry flavor so you can cut back on ice and still get that perfect blend. Then, you'll need Blanco or Silver tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, limeade, and cherry juice (grenadine also works, but I feel cherry juice adds the right balance of tart and sweet).

How to Make a Blended Cherry Limeade Margarita

If you like a rim, prep the glasses first because you'll want to dive in immediately. Add everything to your blender, including a handful of ice, and blend on high until it has a smooth and thick consistency. Pour, garnish, and sip away! An insulated pitcher is a great way to keep a second round icy while you enjoy the first. Trust me, there will be a second round.

Fun Ways to Garnish

I like to go wild with Maraschino cherries and pile them on like it's my birthday. A fresh lime wedge or dried lemon slice gives this drink a cute touch, or for a more polished look, give it a salt rim or use sugar instead to let the whole cocktail lean into its sweet side.

Keep the drinks flowing with a classic frozen margarita or a frozen raspberry marg. Got a crowd? Blend up a pitcher of frozen Palomas or spicy margaritas. Or-hear me out-serve up a boozy slushy flight. No one's complaining or leaving thirsty.
