Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz Ingredients

Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz: Bubbly Fruity co*cktail! - Dinners Done Quick (3)
  • 2 ounces tequila
  • ½ ounce fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup chopped strawberries
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 3 ounces strawberry or orange sparkling water
  • Ice cubes

Ingredient Tips and Substitutions

  • Blanco or silver tequila are the best varieties for this drink, but you can use your favorites. If you don’t like tequila, vodka or gin are also good substitutes
  • Instead of the sugar, you can substitute honey or agave if preferred, or you can skip the fresh fruit entirely and use ½ ounce of strawberry flavored syrup, which is sweetened
  • Prepared or fresh orange juice are both great options. A good substitute is orange soda, which adds the sweetness, carbonation, and orange flavor all in one!
  • Instead of the sparkling water, you can also use orange soda as previously mentioned, strawberry Fanta, club soda, or sparkling wine. Note that I use unsweetened sparkling water, so if you choose a sweetened variety you may want to omit the sugar
  • Garnishes are entirely optional, but can include a fresh strawberry, slice or orange or lime, or a sprig of mint, if desired

Step By Step Instructions

  1. Combine the chopped strawberries and sugar in the bottom of a co*cktail shaker (or similar), then use a muddler (or similar tool) to smash the berries. You may also blend and strain them if you prefer no seeds or chunks of fruit in your drink

Recipe FAQs

What is an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz?

An orange strawberry tequila fizz is a refreshing co*cktail made with tequila, fresh orange juice, muddled strawberries, soda or sparkling water, and a splash of citrus, typically served over ice.

You can also use orange or strawberry flavored soda for the carbonated element to add sweetness and flavor.

How Do I Make an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz?

To make an orange strawberry tequila fizz, start by muddling fresh sugared strawberries in a co*cktail shaker. Add tequila, orange juice, citrus juice, and ice. Shake well, then strain into a glass filled with ice and top with soda water.

Garnish with orange slices and strawberries if desired.

What Ingredients Do I Need for an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz?

The ingredients for an orange strawberry tequila fizz usually include tequila, fresh strawberries, orange juice, citrus juice (such as lemon or lime), soda water, ice, and optional garnishes like orange slices and strawberry slices.

You can swap in other carbonated elements in place of the soda water, like flavored sparkling water, soda, or even sparkling wine.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries Instead of Fresh Ones?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones in an orange strawberry tequila fizz. However, fresh strawberries will provide a brighter and more vibrant flavor to the co*cktail.

For best results, defrost slightly before muddling. If you use frozen berries in syrup, you can skip the addition of sugar.

Is an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz a Strong co*cktail?

The strength of an orange strawberry tequila fizz can vary depending on the amount of tequila used and personal preference. As written, expect it to be a medium strength.

Feel free to adjust the alcohol-to-mixer ratio to suit your taste preferences and tolerance.

Can I Make an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz Without Alcohol?

Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic mocktail version of an orange strawberry tequila fizz by simply omitting the tequila.

Muddle the strawberries, add orange juice and soda water, and serve over ice for a refreshing mocktail. Adjust the sweetness with agave to add tequila-reminiscent notes.

What Variations Can I Try with an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz?

There are many variations of the orange strawberry tequila fizz that you can experiment with. You can try using different types of berries, such as raspberries or blueberries, or swap in citrus liqueur in place of the juice.

Feel free to try other flavored liqueurs as well, like elderflower or peach.

Is an Orange Strawberry Tequila Fizz Gluten Free?

The ingredients in an orange strawberry tequila fizz are typically gluten free, but it’s important to always check the labels of each ingredient to ensure they don’t contain any gluten-based additives.

Items may also be processed in facilities where cross-contamination can occur, so make sure to look for a gluten free certification if required for your dietary needs.

Recipe Pro Tips

  • This drink is about medium strength as written – you can add more tequila or add ½ ounce triple sec for a stronger drink. Use more orange juice or sparkling water for a weaker drink
  • Despite the sugar, this drink is not sweet as written. You can add more sugar if you want a sweeter drink, or some agave, which compliments the tequila nicely. Alternatively, use soda or sweetened sparkling water for your carbonated element

Serving Tips

  • Any lowball style glass works well for this recipe, though you may need to adjust the amount of sparkling water based on your glass size. I use an 11-ounce old fashioned glass, but any whiskey, rocks, juice glass, or similar works great
  • You can scale this recipe for use in a pitcher. Muddle the strawberries in a pitcher and combine with the other ingredients (except the sparkling water). Mix and store up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Fill individual glasses with ice, pour in the mixture about halfway, then top with sparkling water for maximum fizziness!
