These were very tasty, but they were a LOT more work than I was expecting. Straining the seeds out of the frozen raspberry and lime juice mixture took absolutely forever and involved a lot of elbow grease because the mixture was so thick. I sat there trying to push the mixture through the strainer for at least 30 minutes, and it got all over my kitchen in the meantime. If I ever make these again, I will try adding the alcohol before straining so that the mixture would be thinner and easier to push through the strainer. But overall, I find the margarita recipes with frozen strawberries just as tasty and a lot easier. This was just more effort than I'm willing to put into a cocktail.
Raspberry "Sangre" Margaritas
Leigh Beisch
Serve this margarita for a party—you can make the raspberry mixture up to a day ahead, then simply add tequila and triple sec and blend with crushed ice before serving. Add a sugar rim and fresh raspberry garnish, and call it this summer's signature cocktail.
