Blended to a silky smooth consistency or shaken over ice, Mango Margaritas are as delicious as they are easy to make. Garnish with a slice of lime or a chili-salt rim for an extra touch of flavor that enhances the fruity, zesty notes of this irresistible drink.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed (or 1 1/2 cups mango puree)
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup triple sec (orange liqueur)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1-2 tablespoons simple syrup or agave nectar (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Salt or chili-salt mix, for rimming the glass (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Glasses: If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glasses and dip the rims into a plate of salt or chili-salt mix. Set the glasses aside.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the mango cubes (or mango puree), tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup or agave nectar if using. Add a handful of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a frozen margarita, add more ice and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the margarita mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup or agave nectar if needed.
- Serve: Pour the mango margarita into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
