A quick and easy frozen mango margarita with a spicy Tajín rim that offers a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors, ideal for summer gatherings or solo relaxation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) frozen mango chunks
  • 2 oz (60 ml) tequila blanco
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz (30 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) agave nectar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • Tajín seasoning for rimming the glass
  • Coarse sea salt (optional, mixed with Tajín for the rim)
  • Lime wedges for rimming and garnish

Instructions

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass.
  2. On a small plate, mix about 2 tablespoons of Tajín with 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt (optional).
  3. Dip the moistened rim into the mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
  4. In your blender, add frozen mango chunks, tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and agave nectar.
  5. Add ice cubes to the blender.
  6. Pulse the blender on high for about 30-45 seconds until a thick, icy slush forms without big chunks.
  7. If too thick, add a splash of water or more lime juice and blend again.
  8. Taste and adjust sweetness or tang by adding more agave nectar or lime juice if desired.
  9. Pour into the prepared glasses, garnish with a fresh lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use good-quality blanco tequila for best flavor. Freeze mango chunks beforehand to avoid watering down the drink. Rimming the glass with a mix of Tajín and coarse salt adds texture and flavor. Blend in short bursts to avoid melting the ice. Serve immediately for best texture. For a mocktail, omit tequila and triple sec and replace with orange juice and sparkling water.
