Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place the fresh strawberries, frozen lemonade concentrate, and cold water into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth to ensure even sweetness and texture.
- Mix Juices: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a large pitcher. Stir in the white grape juice, orange juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice until well combined to balance sweetness and acidity.
- Prepare Glasses: Rub lime juice around the rims of each glass, then dip the rims into coarse salt to create the classic margarita salt edge—this adds flavor and a festive touch.

- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste for more or less tartness.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to serve extra cold without diluting the drink with too much ice.
- You can substitute coarse salt with sugar for a sweeter rim if desired.
- This mocktail can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated.
