Ingredients

Scale

Mango Puree

  • 10 ounces mango chunks
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Margarita

  • 1 1/2 ounces tequila
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • 3/4 ounce Cointreau
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mango puree (prepared above)
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • Lime wedges, for garnish
  • Chili lime seasoning, for rimming the glass and garnish
  • Mango chunks, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Mango Puree: In a blender, combine the mango chunks, water, and sugar. Blend until smooth and set aside. This creates a fresh, sweet mango base for the margarita.
  2. Prepare the Glass: Pour chili lime seasoning onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Then, invert the glass and dip the rim into the seasoning, coating it thoroughly for a spicy, tangy flavor accent.
  3. Add Ice to the Glass: Fill the prepared glass with ice carefully to keep the seasoning rim intact and chill the glass.
  4. Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, fresh mango puree, and hot honey. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10 to 20 seconds to blend all flavors and chill the mixture thoroughly.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.
  6. Garnish: Add a lime wedge and mango chunks coated lightly with chili lime seasoning on the rim or in the drink for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor in the puree.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of hot honey or chili lime seasoning.
  • For a frozen version, blend the ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar to the mango puree if desired.
