Ingredients

2 oz silver tequila
1 oz triple sec
3 oz fresh mango puree
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
Salt and chili powder for rim optional
Ice cubes

Mango slice and lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

Mix equal parts salt and chili powder on a small plate if using a spiced rim.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip in the salt mixture.

Add mango, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
Strain through both strainers into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish with a mango slice and lime wheel.

Notes

Fresh mango makes the best puree. Peel and cut one ripe mango, then blend until smooth.

Store leftover mango puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For a frozen version, combine all ingredients with 1 cup of ice in a blender until smooth.

Skip the simple syrup if using very ripe mangoes or if you prefer less sweetness.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Margarita Madness cocktail greets the senses with bright tropical aromas. Fresh mango and lime notes blend with the warmth of premium tequila.

Sweet and tangy flavors dance on the tongue. Ripe mango takes center stage while fresh lime juice adds a zesty kick. The smooth reposado tequila brings subtle oak and vanilla notes.

The texture is silky with a perfect balance between sweet and sour. Ice-cold temperature and tiny bubbles from shaking create a light, refreshing mouthfeel.

Key Flavor Notes:

Primary: Fresh mango, lime
Secondary: Oak, vanilla, agave
Finish: Clean citrus, subtle sweetness

The finish is clean and crisp. Citrus and mango linger briefly, making each sip more tempting than the last. Light salt from the rim enhances the fresh fruit flavors.

This drink works best ice-cold at 34-38°F (1-3°C). The colder temperature brings out the mango’s natural sweetness while keeping the cocktail refreshing.

Substitute

You can make changes to the mango margarita recipe if certain ingredients aren’t available. Frozen peaches or nectarines work well in place of mango.

No fresh fruit? Use 1 cup of mango nectar or juice instead of fresh mango chunks. Add an extra 1/2 cup of ice to maintain the right texture.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the tequila and triple sec. Replace with 1/2 cup orange juice and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Add a splash of club soda for fizz.

Alternative spirits:

Vodka instead of tequila
Cointreau instead of triple sec

Mezcal for a smoky twist

Want it spicier? Add fresh jalapeño slices or a dash of chili powder. For extra sweetness, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of agave nectar.

Fresh limes make the best margaritas, but bottled lime juice works too. Use 2 tablespoons of bottled juice to replace the juice of one lime.
