You have probably already come to realize that I love a fruit based cocktail. They are so refreshing and seriously go down so easy! And don't you kind of feel healthier if you are having your cocktail and a doze of fresh fruit? I for one do! And these Mango Margaritas are tart, refreshing and a little spicy! They are the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of Chips and Guac or just to sip on a warm Spring day!
Serves 2
5 oz blanco tequila
2 oz fresh mango puree (recipe below)
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
Juice of 1/2 fresh orange or clementine (save the squeezed half!)
Tajin seasoning
Mango Puree (makes a large batch)
3 mangoes peeled and cut into large chunks
1 cup water
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tbsp honey
To make the mango puree add all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. This makes a large batch so save some for the cocktails and you can use the rest to make homemade ice pops!
In a cocktail shaker add tequila, mango puree, lemon juice and orange juice. Add lots of ice and shake!
Place about 1 tbsp Tajin seasoning on a plate
Take the squeezed orange rind and rub along the rim of 2 glasses. Take the glasses and dip them into the plate of Tajin so the top and outside of the rim get the seasoning on them
Fill 2 cocktail glasses with ice and strain in the tequila mango mix. Enjoy!!
