One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to sit on the patio with a cold drink and just relax. Or float in the above-ground pool that we set up right before Memorial Day each year.

I combined two of my favorite warm-weather treats to create this strawberry margarita shake.

This tastes somewhere between a margarita and a milkshake. Like most of my recipes, it’s pretty flexible and you can change up some of the ingredients to your taste. I added frozen strawberries, but you can substitute any fruit that you might enjoy in a margarita. {Mango? Blueberry?} This might also be fun with different ice cream flavors besides plain vanilla.

Also, while I made this cocktail with alcohol, you could easily leave it out for a non-alcoholic version. Drink responsibly.
