These frozen strawberry jalapeño margarita bars combine sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors for a refreshing summer treat that’s easy to make and perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (about 600 grams / 1.3 lbs)
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (reduce seeds for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup tequila blanco (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (60 ml)
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar (80 ml)
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: Tajín seasoning for sprinkling on top before serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the strawberries and hull them. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you want less heat, then chop it finely. This prep should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Add strawberries, jalapeño, tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, water, and sea salt to your blender. Blend on high until smooth and uniform, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or heat by adding more agave nectar or water if needed.
  4. Pour the mixture into a prepared 8×8 inch baking pan or silicone molds. Smooth the top with a spatula to make even bars. This step takes about 5 minutes.
  5. Place the pan or molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  6. If frozen in a pan, run a warm knife along the edges and cut into bars or squares. If using molds, gently push the bars out.
  7. Serve immediately or keep frozen until ready to enjoy. Let bars sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before serving for easier biting.

Notes

Let bars soften for 3-5 minutes before serving for easier biting. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. If blender struggles, add a little more water. Tajín seasoning adds a nice finishing touch.
