Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) tequila blanco per serving
  • 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lime juice per drink
  • 1 ounce (30 ml) orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 1/2 ounce (15 ml) agave syrup, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (ancho chili powder recommended) plus extra for rim
  • 2 tablespoons chamoy sauce per glass
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt mixed with 1 tablespoon chili powder for rim
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: fresh jalapeño slices for garnish
  • Optional: fresh cilantro or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chamoy Rim: Mix 1 tablespoon chili powder with 1 tablespoon coarse salt in a shallow dish. Pour 2 tablespoons chamoy sauce into another shallow dish. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, dip into chamoy sauce, then immediately dip into chili-salt mix. Set aside to dry slightly.
  2. Puree the Mango: Blend chopped mangoes until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add a splash of water or lime juice if too thick.
  3. Mix the Cocktail: In a shaker, combine 2 ounces tequila blanco, 1 ounce orange liqueur, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, 1/2 ounce agave syrup, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 2 ounces mango puree.
  4. Add Ice and Shake: Fill shaker with about 1 cup ice cubes. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until cold and frosty.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain mixture into chamoy-rimmed glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with jalapeño slice or lime wedge if desired.
  6. Final Touches: Let chamoy rim dry for a couple of minutes before serving. Sip and enjoy the layered flavors.

Notes

Use the ripest mangoes for best flavor. Adjust chili powder to taste for heat balance. Prepare the chamoy rim last to keep it fresh. Fresh lime juice is essential for brightness. For a frozen version, blend entire mix with crushed ice instead of shaking. Store leftover margarita refrigerated up to 24 hours and stir before serving.
