  • Glasses for serving

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Margarita:
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced (or 1 cup of mango puree)
  • 1-2 fresh jalapeños adjust for spice level
  • 4 oz tequila preferably silver
  • 2 oz lime juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau or triple sec
  • 1 oz agave syrup or simple syrup adjust for sweetness
  • Ice cubes
  • For the Garnish:
  • Tajín seasoning for rimming the glass
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh mango slices

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Prepare Your Glasses
  • Start by rimming your glasses with lime juice. Then, dip the rims into Tajín seasoning to add flavor and a beautiful presentation. Set the glasses aside.
  • Muddle the Mango and Jalapeños
  • In a cocktail shaker, add the diced mango and jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat). Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the ingredients together. This releases the juices and creates a flavorful base for your margarita.
  • Add the Liquids
  • Pour in the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup into the shaker. You can adjust the sweetness and spice according to your taste.
  • Shake It Up
  • Fill the shaker with ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This chills the drink and mixes the flavors beautifully.
  • Strain and Serve
  • Fill your prepared glasses with ice and strain the margarita mixture over the ice.
  • Garnish
  • Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mango slices for an extra touch of color and flavor.
  • Variations
  • Frozen Spicy Mango Margarita: Blend the ingredients with ice instead of shaking for a slushy version.
  • Non-Alcoholic Option: Substitute tequila and orange liqueur with sparkling water and a splash of orange juice for a refreshing mocktail.
  • Fruit Variations: Try using other fruits like strawberries or peaches for a different flavor profile.
