A vibrant and refreshing spicy mango margarita featuring fresh mango puree, tequila, and a tangy chamoy rim that balances sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh mango, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
  • 1 ounce triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1/2 ounce agave syrup or simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill shaker and glass)
  • Chamoy sauce for rimming the glass
  • Tajin or chili powder for dusting the rim
  • Coarse salt (optional, mixed with chili powder for rimming)
  • Fresh mango slices or lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass by pouring about 2 tablespoons of chamoy sauce onto a small plate. On another plate, mix equal parts Tajin chili powder and coarse salt (or just chili powder if preferred). Dip the rim of the margarita glass first into the chamoy, then into the chili-salt mixture, twisting to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. Make mango puree by adding peeled and chopped mango pieces into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice to loosen slightly.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, add 2 ounces tequila blanco, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, 1 ounce triple sec, 1/2 ounce agave syrup (optional), and 1/2 cup mango puree. Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice.
  4. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the shaker feels cold and ingredients are well combined.
  5. Strain the margarita into the prepared glass over fresh ice cubes. Garnish with a fresh mango slice or lime wedge on the rim.
  6. Sip slowly and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors.

Notes

Adjust sweetness and tartness by adding more agave syrup or lime juice as needed. Use enough ice when shaking to avoid a watery drink. Chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before rimming for extra cold drinks. Prepare mango puree and rim glasses before shaking for smooth workflow. Store leftover margarita mix (without ice) in the fridge up to 24 hours and shake well before serving.
