Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix Tajin seasoning on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip in the seasoning.
  • Add tequila, lime juice, mango puree, cream of coconut, and triple sec to a shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Garnish with a fresh mango slice and lime wheel.

Notes

Store cream of coconut in the fridge after opening. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Make fresh mango puree by blending ripe mango chunks until smooth. Strain if needed.
For a frozen version, combine all ingredients with 1 cup of ice in a blender until smooth.
Skip the Tajin for a simpler drink. Regular salt or coconut flakes work well too.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Coconut Margarita delivers a bright, tropical sweetness from fresh mango puree balanced with smooth coconut cream.

Fresh lime juice adds a zesty punch that cuts through the rich coconut and brings out the mango’s natural tartness.

The silver tequila provides clean agave notes without overwhelming the fruit flavors.

Each sip starts with sweet mango, transitions to creamy coconut, and ends with a pleasant citrus finish. The drink maintains a silky texture from the coconut cream while staying light and refreshing.

The salt rim adds a savory element that enhances the tropical fruit flavors. Ice helps maintain the ideal serving temperature of 35-40°F (2-4°C).

Key Flavor Notes:

  • Sweet ripe mango
  • Creamy coconut
  • Tangy lime
  • Clean agave
  • Hint of salt

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

Don’t have all the ingredients? These swaps will give you a tasty mango coconut margarita.

Replace fresh mango with frozen mango chunks or mango nectar. Use 1 cup of frozen mango or 3/4 cup mango nectar instead of 1 fresh mango.

No coconut cream? Mix equal parts coconut milk and simple syrup. Or use cream of coconut from the mixer section at the store.

Tequila alternatives:

  • Mezcal for a smoky twist
  • White rum for a tropical feel
  • Skip it for a virgin drink

Fresh lime juice works best, but bottled lime juice can work in a pinch. Use the same amount.

Triple sec substitutes include:

To make the simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and warm water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Store extras in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Need it sweeter? Add 1/2 ounce agave nectar or simple syrup at a time until it tastes right.
