- When picking out the tequila, be sure to select a good quality brand.
- For the frozen strawberries, make sure to select ones that are ripe and sweet.
- Replace tequila with vodka: This substitution will make the margarita less strong and more approachable for those who don't prefer the taste of tequila.
- Replace lime juice with lemon juice: This substitution will give the margarita a more tart flavor, as lemons are more acidic than limes.

Taco Salad: A classic taco salad with lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, and cheese, topped with a creamy avocado dressing. This light and flavorful dish is the perfect accompaniment to the sweet and sour flavors of the Strawberry Margarita.
Grilled Corn: Grilled corn is the perfect complement to the flavors of the taco salad and margarita. It is lightly seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and garlic for a savory and smoky flavor. The sweetness of the corn is a perfect balance to the tartness of the margarita and the creaminess of the avocado dressing.
