Frozen Mango Coconut Margarita - featured image

A quick and easy tropical cocktail blending frozen mango, creamy coconut, and bright lime zest for a refreshing summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) tequila blanco
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice
  • Lime zest from 1 medium lime
  • 12 tablespoons (15-30ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 12 cups (240-480ml) ice cubes
  • Sea salt for rimming glass (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip into a small plate of sea salt to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. Gather 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks, 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut cream, 1/2 cup (120ml) tequila blanco, 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice, and lime zest from one medium lime. If using, add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) honey or agave syrup.
  3. Add frozen mango, coconut cream, tequila, lime juice, lime zest, sweetener, and 1 to 2 cups (240-480ml) of ice cubes into the blender. Pulse first to break up ice, then blend on high until smooth and slushy, about 45-60 seconds.
  4. Check consistency. The drink should be thick but pourable. If too thick, add a splash of water or more lime juice. If too thin, add a few more frozen mango cubes or ice and blend briefly.
  5. Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with a lime wheel or extra zest if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use ripe frozen mango for best sweetness. Zest lime just before blending for fresh citrus oils. Blend in stages to avoid overworking blender. Chill glasses before serving. Adjust sweetness last by tasting before adding honey or agave. For a dairy-free or vegan option, use agave syrup instead of honey. If blender struggles with ice, crush ice separately or use smaller cubes.
