Equipment

Ingredients

For the mango margarita

2 cups (280 g) frozen mango chunks
3 oz (90 ml) tequila
1 oz (30 ml) triple sec
2 limes juiced
1-2 tablespoons agave syrup or to taste

For the chili-salt rim

1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon sea salt

Garnish (optional)

fresh mint
lime wedges

Instructions

Rim the glasses

Mix the chili powder and salt on a small plate.
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into the chili-salt mixture, twisting gently to coat.

Blend

Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth.
Taste and add a little more tequila or agave syrup if needed.

Serve

Pour the frozen margarita into the prepared glasses.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tequila: Blanco tequila gives a clean, smooth flavor.
Triple sec: Cointreau is my favorite, but Grand Marnier works well too.
Agave syrup: Can be replaced with honey or simple syrup.
Scale for a crowd: Double or triple the recipe as needed.
Mocktail: Swap tequila with mango nectar and triple sec with orange juice.
Skinny version: Skip triple sec and use fresh orange juice with just a touch of agave.
On the rocks: Substitute frozen chunks with mango juice and serve over ice.
Make ahead: Blend the margarita mix in advance and freeze. Give it a quick stir before serving.
