This Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita is one irresistibly sweet cake! Flavored ice cubes add tangy lime as they melt rather than watering down the drink.
Daisy! Just saying the word feels like a party, and this drink holds a special place in my heart. It’s more than just a drink for me; It’s a celebratory feeling: camaraderie + celebration. girls night out Daisy. graduate ? Daisy. arrived Friday? Daisy. That’s the inspiration for this Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita, a twist on our classic margarita that adds seasonal spring produce.
Make this Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita
A little toast to spring, this Strawberry Margarita with Mint Lime Ice Cream uses seasonal produce hitting the market right here in Indiana. Sweet strawberries go hand-in-hand with tart rhubarb, and this classic flavor combination isn’t just for cobblers and crunch. (By the way, try our Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp or Rhubarb Crisp.) It’s perfect in a drink like a margarita for just the right sweet cake flavor.
To get the strawberry and rhubarb flavor, make homemade strawberry and rhubarb syrup by simmering the berries and rhubarb with sugar. Once the fruit breaks down, you will strain it into a glass and refrigerate until ready to use. This syrup will keep in the fridge for a few weeks.
Mint Lime Ice Cubes: Add zesty lime flavor as it melts!
Here we served this Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita with a twist: flavored ice cubes! And they are beyond pretty. Freezing fresh mint leaves in ice cubes is wonderful, but they have an added flavor: lime juice! This ingenious move helps ensure the drink doesn’t get diluted as the ice melts. As the flavored ice cubes melt, they only add the zesty lime instead of diluting the drink!
We may be biased, but we think this Strawberry Margarita is a perfect cocktail recipe for your next festive occasion. Let us know if you try it!

The description
This Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita is one irresistibly sweet cake! Flavored ice cubes add tangy lime as they melt rather than watering down the drink.
- 5 Lemons
- 1 a handful of mint leaves
- 2 cups Rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- ½ cup Sugar

- For the ice cream, combine 1 cup of water, the juice of 1 lime (3 tablespoons), and the lime zest. Pour into an ice cube tray. Float a few mint leaves in each cube and freeze.
