Ingredients:
For the Margaritas:
- 1 ripe mango (cubed, ~1 cup or 157 g)
- 1 cup orange juice
- Juice of 2 small limes (~1 oz)
- 2.5-3 oz silver tequila (adjust to preferred strength)
- 1 oz triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 dash hot sauce (optional, for a kick)
- 1-3 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup (adjust based on mango sweetness)
For the Chili Salt Rim:
- 1 lime wedge (for rimming the glasses)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Margarita Mixture:
- Add all the margarita ingredients to a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness and alcohol strength as needed.
2️⃣ Chill the Margaritas:
- For an extra cold treat, blend in a large handful of ice cubes to make a frozen margarita, or transfer half of the mixture to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously.
3️⃣ Prepare the Glasses:
- Rim the serving glasses with a lime wedge and dip the rims into the chili powder and sea salt mixture. Fill each glass with one large ice cube or several smaller cubes.
4️⃣ Serve:
- Pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge. Serve immediately!
Notes:
- Frozen Margarita: For a frozen version, use frozen mango instead of fresh and skip the ice cubes in the blending process.
- Adjust Sweetness: Tailor the sweetness of your margaritas based on the ripeness of your mango and personal taste preferences.
Enjoy these vibrant Chili Lime Mango Margaritas with a splash of tropical flair and a hint of spice. Perfect for any warm-weather occasion or just a relaxing evening!
