Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this punch ahead of time?
You can prepared the blended strawberry mixture in advance, but you’ll want to wait to add the Prosecco and seltzer just before serving.
What can I use if I don’t have Prosecco?
If you don’t have Prosecco, Champagne or any sparkling wine will work as a substitute. Just ensure it’s chilled before adding it to the punch for the best refreshing taste.
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh strawberries if you prefer. However, using frozen strawberries helps to keep the punch cold and adds a thicker, more slushy texture. If using fresh, you might want to add some ice to the blender for a similar effect.

Excited to try this. Have you tried using real strawberries instead of frozen? If so, how did it turn out?
I have a 2 gallon dispenser would you have any idea what the measurements would be?
I see your measurements go up to 24 people.
I don’t unfortunately, but you should be able to do some math to figured things out. Just multiply until you get close to 2 gallons. Cheers!

Can you make this up the night before party?
You can prep a lot of it the night before so you only need to spend a couple minutes on it the day of the part. Because of the Prosecco and seltzer you want to make this right before serving.

Delicious recipe! Big hit at our happy hour. Making it again for my husband’s birthday party this month. Only had coconut tequila but it really added a nice flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
Can you make this alcohol free. Want to do that for my daughters graduation
Served this twice now! Doubled the recipe the second time. Both times I only used 1L of seltzer but otherwise followed the recipe to a T. I especially like that this margarita isn’t overly sweet and the Prosecco gives it just a hint of bubbly goodness. Such a hit! Thanks for the recipe!
Good afternoon! I’m making your lunch this weekend. What are your thoughts on multiplying the recipe? I have a three gallon dispenser and a big crowd coming. Caterers will be in the kitchen so I’m a little concerned with limiting the number of trips in and out. Do you think doubling will effect the flavor? Tripling? It doesn’t always work with Sangria and definitely not with Bloody Mary pitchers. Thanks for your help!
I’ve never made a larger batch than this. However, I think it should be okay. Maybe have some back-up ingredients so that you can adjust to your taste preferences if needed.

Thank you for your reply! We made the punch and it was a big hit! When doubled, the margarita punch was pretty good but tasted a touch watered down- just that funny thing that sometimes happens when doubling. We added about 1.5 cups of frozen strawberries and a dash or two of sugar, blended, to the doubled recipe and it was perfect! We served in unsalted Collins glasses with striped paper straws in pinks and greens as we didn’t have the setup for salted rims at the help-yourself-bar. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
I made this today with a couple changes. I used. Sparkling Pino Grigio and cut the seltzer water in half. Everyone loved it!
Sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed the recipe – love your changes too!!

i loved the margarita and the pitcher looks so cute, you surely know how to rock!
great margarita with Prosecco! Nice, great twist, thank you for a very creative margarita
Your flowers are always beautiful! This is a great recipe in time for our annual solstice party – thanks!
Perfect timing! The girls are coming over for a deck party this weekend and your punch will be perfect! You always inspire me to remember the little details in entertaining. Thank you!
Cheers! Enjoy!!

Love the margarita glasses!
Would you be willing to share where you purchased them?
Yes! Of course. I love them. You can find them here: https://rstyle.me/n/c5wy6mbgdef (Looks like they are on sale at the moment!)

Thanks for the link!
Just ordered some for myself…..they are such a lovely shaped glass.💕
Does the strawberry margarita punch really call for 12 liters of seltzer water?
Oops! The numbers were a bit too close together. It’s ONE 2-liter bottle of seltzer. 🙂 Thanks!
Michael
I think it’s supposed to read as one 2 Liter. I think.
Yep! I added in some parentheses to help avoid confusion.
Thanks!
