Strawberry margaritas are often part of a fun Cinco de Mayo celebration! This easy cocktail recipe takes them from cocktail to dessert, adding soft, creamy strawberry ice cream and club soda to them. They easily convert to a mocktail so that the whole family can enjoy them.
I originally shared this strawberry margaritas recipe as part of a Cinco de Mayo feast a couple of years ago. It’s a simple way to jazz up traditional strawberry margaritas, taking them from a simple drink to a decadent dessert.
The fizzy part of this cocktail comes from the addition of creamy strawberry ice cream. By omitting the tequila, this drink easily converts into a non-alcoholic mocktail for a child friendly treat. Plus, kids love the fancy look of a sugar rimmed glass, and they can even help you rim the glasses!
Here are some Cinco de Mayo foods to kick off your meal, that will eventually end with the fizzy strawberry margaritas!
This zesty side dish is my new go-to rice for fajitas, tacos, and burritos.
I use this as a healthy topping alternative to sour cream.
