This Memorial Day or Fourth of July, turn your patriotic heart up a notch with our red, white, and blue margarita (made two different ways). Mixed with SVEDKA and a few other ingredients, this vodka margarita is sure to be the life of the party!

Sweet Star-Spangled Vodka Margarita

Nothing says Happy Fourth of July or Memorial Day like a patriotic cocktail or two! So, we whipped up a batch of our Sweet Star-Spangled Vodka Margaritas (two ways) for the fireworks illuminated summertime occasions in the spirit of all things red, white, and blue.

During the summer months, we love to entertain our family and friends. Usually, we get together on Memorial Day or the Fourth of July for a cook-out. Having the right type of alcohol is essential. Considering SVEDKA is a top ten spirit brand in the USA (Source: Adams 2015), I know it’s the right vodka to get any party started. Imported from Sweden to the US, SVEDKA is now the #1 imported vodka (Source: Adams 2015)!

SVEDKA helped put the bang in our Sweet Star-Spangled Vodka Margarita. It’s a vodka with a smooth, bold taste. It has a clear, crisp taste and easy mixability and versatility. Plus, I love how they package their products. This SVEDKA Limited Edition Stars & Stripes party bottle fits right in with the patriotic theme.

Check out how I put together this patriotic margarita in two different ways with just a few ingredients!

How do you plan to celebrate this holiday weekend? Hopefully, those plans include our Sweet Star-Spangled Vodka Margarita. Regardless of how you celebrate, be safe and responsible! It will be a showstopper at your summer shindig.

How do you make margaritas slushies?

Grab a high speed blender to create the perfect slush texture. It will break up the ice and give you that restaurant quality margarita slushie you know and love.

What to rim the glass with?

So you can do a classic salt rim, leave it plain, or change it up. I like to add a little corn syrup around the edge and then dip the glass in Pop Rocks, a popping candy. It give this a real fire cracker feel.

Can you substitute tequila for vodka in a margarita?

If you are wanting a tequila based margarita go right ahead. Just swap it out with any of your favorite flavor or brand. I loved using the vodka as it has some flavoring to it, and will dress up the cocktail a bit in terms of flavor.

Can I make a whole pitcher of margaritas?

Absolutely. Feel free to whip up a whole pitcher of margaritas to sip on if you would like. Just pour ingredients into your blender, mix away, then pour into the glasses. Top with the red and blue colored slush and enjoy.
