Print Recipe

A refreshing mango chili margarita that balances sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors, perfect for summer gatherings and parties. This easy-to-make cocktail combines ripe mango puree, chili powder, tequila, and fresh lime juice for a unique and delicious twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 oz (60 ml) tequila blanco
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice (about one lime)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • Pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt for rimming the glass (kosher or sea salt)
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wedges and mango slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped ripe mangoes into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add a tablespoon of water or fresh lime juice if too thick. Set aside.
  2. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Pour salt onto a small plate and dip the rim into the salt, twisting gently to coat. Set aside to dry.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, triple sec, agave syrup, chili powder, and smoked paprika if using. Add 2 oz (60 ml) of the prepared mango puree and a handful of ice cubes.
  4. Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until cold and well mixed.
  5. Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes. Strain the margarita mixture into the glass.
  6. Garnish with a lime wedge and a slice of mango on the rim.
  7. Optional: Top with a splash of club soda or sparkling water for fizz before serving.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Adjust chili powder to taste for desired heat level. Shake vigorously to avoid chili powder clumping. Salt the glass rim just before pouring to prevent sogginess. Fresh mango puree can be refrigerated up to 2 days. For a mocktail, replace tequila and triple sec with sparkling water and orange juice.
