STRAWBERRY MARGARITA PUNCH
Strawberry Margarita Punch is the perfect punch for any party or gathering. It's sweet, tart, fizzy and full of strawberry margarita flavor!
Last fall, my younger sister moved away to another state. Our entire lives we have always been within minutes of each other. Of all the transitions in our life, this one was tough. Not as tough as losing both my parents, but close. But it was time for her family to spread their wings and start something new. Our family has always been very close. We spent enormous amounts of time together just hanging out, eating, shopping, or whatever else we could get into. It just has not been the same since she left. Recently her family came back home for a visit and of course we needed to celebrate ALL the holidays and fun gatherings that they missed. So we hosted a game night after Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter dinner. And of course, what is game night without a fun and fruity drink. We had an amazing time with the family. Even the guys who are die hard beer drinkers couldn't stay out of this punch. I'd say, it's a winner!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY MARGARITA PUNCH
Add limeade concentrate, strawberries, one cup of sparkling water, and simple syrup to a blender. Blend for 15- 20 seconds. Pour the strawberry mixture into a pitcher or punch bowl. Add tequila, triple sec, and orange juice and stir well. Add the strawberry soda and the remaining 2 cups of the sparkling water. Stir and mix well.
To serve, cut a lime into quarters and rub the lime along the rim of your serving glasses. Dip the rims into a shallow bowl of sanding sugar or margarita salt. Set aside. Add ice to your serving glasses and pour into glasses. Garnish with a lime wheel.
TIPS FOR SERVING THE PUNCH
Add more sliced strawberries and lime slices and wedges into the pitcher or punch bowl for a prettier presentation.
Make an ice ring with strawberries and limes. A bundt pan works well for this. You can use sparkling water or some of the strawberry soda. Just add some liquid in the bottom of the bundt pan, add your fruit all around and freeze. Just before your party drop in the ice ring for a beautiful presentation. Keeps it chilled without the use of ice to water it down.
If serving in a pitcher with a spout. Add some clear flat marbles (like you would use in floral arrangements) to the bottom making sure to cover the spout. This prevents the fruit from clogging the spout. No more struggling to get your punch out!
Use frozen sliced strawberries if you can't find fresh. Let them thaw, they work perfectly in this recipe.
Need this kid friendly? This punch is still just as delicious without the liquor.
And the biggest tip I can give you, make a double batch! This punch is a hit and you are going to want more.
