Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut rum
- 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut water
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Pinch of salt
- Lime wedges (for rimming)
- 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chili-Lime Rim: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to blend.
- Rim the Glass: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your serving glass or mason jar. Then, dip the rim into the chili-lime mixture, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Set aside to dry while you prepare the slushie.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks, 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut rum, 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut water, 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or agave syrup (if using) into your blender.
- Process Until Smooth: Blend on high for about 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If your blender struggles, add up to 1 cup (240ml) of ice cubes and blend again until desired texture is reached.
- Check Consistency: The slushie should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen mango chunks and pulse a couple more times.
- Pour and Serve: Carefully pour the slushie into the prepared glass with the chili-lime rim. Garnish with a lime wedge if you like.
- Enjoy Immediately: This drink is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate the icy texture and vibrant flavors. If it sits too long, the ice will melt and dilute the drink.
Notes
Use frozen mango chunks for best icy texture without diluting the drink. Rim the glass just before serving to keep the chili-lime seasoning crunchy. If blender is not powerful, pulse frozen fruit in batches and add ice as needed. Keep coconut rum chilled for better blending and colder drink. Fresh lime juice is preferred for best flavor.
