These unique and delicious frozen margarita recipes are here to get you excited for the weekend! From flavors like matcha to Aperol to pineapple dragon fruit, these creative margs will surprise you and have you running to the store for a bottle of tequila.
While a classic margarita is made with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, it’s always fun to experiment with different flavors!
All of these margaritas are frozen and filled with tequila, but that’s where the similarities end. Included are a wide range of unique and interesting flavors to ensure everyone can find their perfect frozen marg 🙂
As far as what tequila to use for your margarita, you can choose your favorite tequila blanco. Tequila blanco is clear and un-aged, so it’s perfect for margs since it’s clean and agave-forward in taste.
Pro tip: pick a bottle that says “100% de agave” or “puro de agave”. These are made with 100% fermented, distilled blue agave, so they’re a bit higher in quality and have a more refined agave flavor. Some examples are Don Julio Blanco Tequila and Herradura Blanco Tequila.
Now with all that said, let’s check out these clever and tasty frozen margarita recipes!

Frozen Apple Butter Margaritas
If you want to be the hostess with the mostess during the holiday season, look no further than these apple butter margaritas! Though it sounds a bit strange, the combination of apple butter and apple cider with a cinnamon sugar rim tastes like fall in a glass.
Perfect for Thanksgiving or for sipping around a bonfire!
Frozen Mango Jalapeno Margaritas
This marg is fruity, spicy, and a little sweet all at once! The jalapeno flavor comes from adding jalapeno peppers to tequila and storing it for at least a full day in a mason jar. The longer you store it though, the spicier it will be.
The spice is balanced out by a sugar rim and frozen mangos. Add a jalapeno slice as a garnish and enjoy!
Frozen Prickly Pear Margarita
If you've never had a prickly pear, they actually taste nothing like pears. It's a type of cactus fruit that has its own unique flavor, which some compare to that of watermelon, raspberry, strawberry, and even bubble gum.
The bright, deep pink color and unique flavor makes for a truly show-stopping, unexpected margarita!
Frozen Thyme and Pear Margarita
Speaking of pears, here's a flavored marg that uses the type of pear you're likely more familiar with along with thyme.
The result is a herbaceous, fruity, and lightly sweet cocktail. Thyme and pear is a gorgeous flavor combo for the summer, but I could see this being a fun and festive marg during the winter as well!
Strawberry Watermelon Basil Frozen Margarita
Strawberry basil is a classic combination, and this recipe cleverly adds fresh watermelon to the mix for more depth and extra fruity flavor.
Otherwise, this crowd-pleasing marg uses classic margarita ingredients and whips up in a blender in no time!
Frozen Pineapple Dragon Fruit Margaritas
Here's another absolutely gorgeous marg that gets its vibrant pink color from frozen dragon fruit. For those who haven't tried dragon fruit, it has a tropical, mildly sweet flavor that tastes kind of like a cross between a kiwi and a pear.
Dragon fruit is delicious on its own, but the addition of pineapple will bring an extra tartness, brightness, and fruitiness to the marg that will elevate it to a whole 'nother level.
Raspberry Acai Frozen Margarita
This marg is pretty in pink and perfect for hot weather! It's also incredibly easy to make since it uses Tropicana Raspberry Acai juice, so you don't have to deal with chopping/peeling/blending fresh fruit for this tasty drink.
Raspberry acai juice is sweet, a bit tart, and incredibly refreshing, which makes it ideal for the summertime!
Frozen Guava Margarita Recipe
Guava is sweet, tangy, and super tropical, so it's absolutely delicious in a margarita! This recipe also adds a tajin chili-lime salted rim to balance out the sweetness of the guava.
This is another recipe that's incredibly easy to make because it doesn't involve any fresh fruit. Instead, you just need guava nectar, which is sold at most grocery stores but can also be purchased online.
Frozen Coconut Margarita
While many coconut margs almost taste like a pina colada since they use coconut cream or milk, this lighter version actually still tastes like a margarita and is super light and refreshing.
It calls for either coconut flavoring or syrup to add the perfect amount of coconut flavor. Top with toasted coconut and a lime and enjoy!
Frozen Pomegranate Margaritas
This frozen margarita is perfect for any time of year! It's super refreshing so it's great for hot weather, but it's also wonderful for the holidays thanks to its festive color and flavor.
And good news: unless you want seeds for the garnish, you don't need to spend 30 minutes opening a whole pomegranate since the recipe just calls for pomegranate juice. Simple, tasty, and absolutely gorgeous!
Aperol Margaritas
If you love Aperol, this marg is a dream come true! For those who aren't familiar with it, Aperol is an Italian bitter apéritif that has a bright orange color and tastes like oranges, bitter orange zest, and herbs.
Other ingredients in this recipe are orange and grapefruit juice, which both pair beautifully with Aperol. It'll be tart, refreshing, and the perfect amount of bitter.
Frozen Brown Sugar Blood Orange Margaritas
The combination of brown sugar and blood orange immediately gabbed my attention. The sweet, caramel flavors of the brown sugar will complement the tart, citrusy blood orange like a dream.
This is another marg that's good for any time of year thanks to it's gorgeous deep orange-red color and festive flavors.
Cardamom Grapefruit Frozen Margarita
Grapefruit and cardamom might sound like a strange combination, but they go together like a wop ba-ba lu-bop a wop bam boom! (If you don't get that reference I officially feel old...)
The cardamom adds warm spiciness, herbal flavors, and complexity that works wonderfully with the pithy, tart grapefruit juice. For extra cardamom flavor, you can even infuse your tequila with cardamom pods!
Hibiscus Margarita
I love a good floral cocktail, and this one sounds beyond delicious and refreshing! Hibiscus has a unique taste that's both tart and floral, so it's great for a summer or springtime marg.
It also only requires 3 ingredients: tequila, hibiscus syrup (homemade or store-bought), and lime juice. Throw it all in a blender with ice and you have an easy, yet super unique margarita.
Matcha Margaritas
This is likely the healthiest margarita recipe I've ever seen! It's PACKED with antioxidants, fiber, and even healthy fats. It also sounds ridiculously tasty.
Main ingredients other than tequila include avocado, banana, mango, lime juice, club soda, and matcha green tea powder. Seriously, I feel healthier just looking at it.
Frozen Cucumber Margaritas with Chili-Sumac Salt
This margarita requires a few more ingredients than your typical marg, but it's totally worth an extra trip to the grocery store! While cucumber is the star of this cocktail, it also gets a ton of flavor from fresh cilantro, lime juice, and the chili-sumac salt rim.
Slightly spicy, super fresh tasting, and bonus points for being full of vitamins!
Raspberry Habanero Margarita
Who doesn't love a good sweet and spicy combo?! This recipe is essentially a classic frozen margarita with a raspberry habanero syrup swirl and sugar/chili powder rim. YUM.
While making a homemade syrup sounds intimidating, it's actually super easy and so worth it for this wonderful flavor combination!
Sunset Margaritas
I love a good layered cocktail, and this one is simply gorgeous! The bottom layer is apricots, while the top layer is blackberries. Although the recipe calls for marionberries, which are a type of blackberry developed in Oregon, normal blackberries will work just as well.
If you've ever had an apricot and blackberry cobbler, you know this marg is going to be crazy delicious!
Frozen Cantaloupe Margaritas
This recipe proves watermelon isn't the only type of melon for margaritas! Fresh cantaloupe in the summer is always a treat, and this marg looks so tasty and refreshing.
I also love the idea of using the hollowed out cantaloupe instead of a normal cup. Summertime sipping perfection!
Honeydew Ginger Frozen Margarita
Honeydew is another melon that doesn't get nearly the recognition it deserves! This creative recipe marries ginger and honeydew for a marg that's mildly spicy and lightly sweet.
Great for the summer, but the green color would also make it fun for St. Patrick's day!
Frozen Avocado Cilantro Margarita
Instead of being sweet and fruity like most margaritas, this marg is creamy, savory, and herbaceous.
Avocado lovers would definitely swoon at this cocktail and it would go SO well with chips and salsa (...and guacamole if you're really an avocado fanatic!)
Frozen Cranberry Margarita with Peppermint Rim
All I want for Christmas is this margarita! It uses a classic margarita recipe with the addition of cranberry juice, which gives the drink extra tartness, fruitiness, and a gorgeous deep red color.
What makes this marg unique though is the peppermint rim. It's so festive and provides a wonderful flavor contrast to the cranberry juice!
Which of these margaritas has you excited for the weekend?? I can’t wait to try the Aperol margarita because I LOVE any cocktail with Aperol, but they all sound delicious.
