Are you a fan of frozen margaritas? You are about to be! This Strawberry Ginger Cucumber Margarita is the perfect drink for these heat wave situations we’re all finding ourselves in lately. The addition of cucumber makes it super refreshing while the fresh ginger adds a subtle spice that cuts through the whole drink and makes it very crisp. Try these and then try to tell me you’re not on team frozen margarita.
Serves: 4- 6
Total time: 15 minutes
You’ll need:
16 oz strawberries or about a quart, roughly chopped
1 small - medium cucumber, peeled, seeds removed and roughly chopped
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and diced

Let’s do it!
