Strawberries aren’t just for dessert – they’re showing up in cocktails, too. From smoky margaritas and yummy berry caipirinhas to customizable spritzes and spicy-sweet infusions, these strawberry cocktails bring serious summer energy. We gathered some of our favorites from standout Texas spots like Z’Tejas in Austin, Boudro’s in San Antonio, and Cibolo Moon in the Hill Country. Whether you’re shaking up drinks for a party or just treating yourself, these sips prove strawberries can steal the show!
Goya Foods’ Spicy Strawberry Margarita
We’re sure this delicious Spicy Strawberry Margarita from Goya Foods will become your favorite. Muddled strawberries paired with sugar, lime juice and fresh jalapeño are a fun twist on a classic! Serve in salt-rimmed glasses with fun garnishes of strawberries, jalapeños and lime wheels.
Cibolo Moon’s Strawberry-Jalapeño Margarita
At Cibolo Moon, the signature restaurant at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort, we found a standout Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita. Made with tequila infused for 72 hours with fresh strawberries and jalapeños, it’s the perfect mix of sweet and heat – and a must-try if you’re in the Texas Hill Country.
Strawberry Gin Spritzer
This refreshing cocktail is best when strawberries are at their peak – deep red and bursting with flavor. With gin and Campari, it echoes a Negroni, but it’s endlessly customizable. Skip the Campari, swap gin for vodka or rum, use sparkling wine instead of seltzer, or keep it booze-free. It’s a laid-back, make-it-your-way drink that’s perfect for sharing. The strawberry syrup makes enough for a crowd, so go ahead and double or triple the recipe.
Z’Tejas Smoked Strawberry Margarita
Smoky, sweet, and full of Texas charm – what’s not to love about this bold margarita from Z’Tejas in Austin? This standout cocktail blends blanco tequila and mezcal for a deep, smoky kick, balanced perfectly by fresh muddled strawberries. It’s finished with a squeeze of lime and a classic lime wheel garnish. Straight from one of Austin’s favorite spots for Southwestern flavor, this drink is everything a great margarita should be: bright, bold, and unforgettable.
Boudro’s Strawberry Caipirinha
This refreshing twist on a Brazilian classic comes straight from Boudro’s, one of our favorite spots along the San Antonio River Walk. Their strawberry caipirinha is bursting with fresh flavor, made with whole strawberries, key limes, and fragrant basil. It’s vibrant, herbaceous, and just the right amount of sweet – perfect for sipping on a warm Texas evening. Big thanks to our friends at Boudro’s for sharing this crowd-pleaser!
