September 6, 2023
Mango Margarita

The classic lime margarita has its own timeless charm, fruit-infused variations bring a whole new dimension to this beloved drink. One such variation that’s been garnering attention lately is the mango margarita. Fresh, vibrant, and exuding tropical flair, this mango margarita doesn’t require a blender or complicated ingredients. Instead, we’re keeping it simple with tequila, lime, lemon, and, of course, ripe mango.

A Symphony of Flavors

Mango: Adds natural sweetness and a tropical touch.

Tequila: The soul of any margarita. Opt for a quality brand to elevate your cocktail.

Lime & Lemon: These citrus fruits add the required tanginess that perfectly balances the sweetness of the mango.

The Recipe: Non-Blended Mango Margarita

Ingredients:

For the Mango Puree:

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • For the Margarita:
  • 2 oz Tequila
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz mango puree
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime or lemon wedges, for garnish
  • Salt for rimming the glass (optional)

Instructions:

  • Prepare the Mango Puree:
  • Take the peeled and diced mango and mash it with a fork or masher until it becomes a puree. You can also use a food processor for a smoother texture, but for this non-blended version, a slightly chunkier puree adds character.

Rim the Glass (Optional):

  • Take a lime or lemon wedge and rub it around the rim of your glass.
  • Dip the rim into a plate of salt, making sure it adheres well.

Make the Margarita:

  • In a shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, and mango puree.
  • Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
  • Shake well for about 15-20 seconds to combine all the ingredients.
  • Fill your rimmed glass with ice cubes.
  • Strain the cocktail into the glass.
  • Garnish with a lime or lemon wedge.

It’s a cocktail that brings a burst of tropical sunshine.
