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
