Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mango
- 3 ounces tequila blanco or repesado
- 1 ounce triple sec (preferably Cointreau)
- ½ cup coconut water
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 ½ tablespoons simple syrup or agave sweetener
Garnishes and Extras
- Chamoy for layering and garnish
- Tajín for garnish
- Fresh diced mango for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Glasses: Pour Chamoy onto a small plate and rim two glasses with it. Then pour Tajín onto another small plate and coat the rims of the glasses with it as well. Set the glasses aside to use later.
- Blend Ingredients: Add frozen mango, tequila, triple sec, coconut water, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup or agave into a blender pitcher. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any chunks.
- Assemble Drinks: Pour the blended mango cocktail into the prepared glasses, layering with Chamoy sauce between a few layers for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Garnish and Serve: Top off each glass with fresh diced mango and sprinkle extra Tajín on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing frozen mango margarita.
Notes
- Use blanco or repesado tequila; aged tequila tends to overpower the delicate mango flavors.
- Cointreau is preferred for triple sec to enhance the flavor profile.
- For an alcohol-free version, substitute tequila with extra coconut water.
- Simple syrup can be replaced with agave sweetener or honey based on preference.
- Always use fresh lime juice for the best taste.
- Chamoy can be found in Mexican markets or purchased online.
