Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen mango chunks
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 oz silver tequila
  • 2 oz orange liqueur
  • 2 handfuls ice cubes
  • 1 Tbsp agave syrup or honey
  • Pinch of chili powder or Tajín

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by rounding up all your ingredients. Freshly squeezed lime juice makes a difference, so if possible, avoid bottled varieties. It brings out the best flavors.

Step 2: Prepare the Blender

  • Add the frozen mango chunks to your blender. They provide the slushy texture we love! Follow with the freshly squeezed lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Don’t forget that agave syrup; it balances out the tartness of the lime.

Step 3: Add Ice

  • With the mango and liquids in the blender, toss in just enough handfuls of ice. Go easy on the ice—you want a thick and frosty texture without tasting watered down.

Step 4: Blend to Perfection

  • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides. You want everything to mingle well.

Step 5: Taste Test (Optional but Recommended!)

  • Taste your margarita. Feel free to adjust the sweetness with a splash more agave syrup or the tartness with additional lime juice.

Step 6: Prepare Glasses and Serve

  • To enhance the experience, consider rimming your glasses with chili powder or Tajín. Pour the frozen mixture into your glasses and garnish with lime wedges. Enjoy your masterpiece!

Notes

  • Frozen Mango Quality: Ensure you’re using sweet, ripe, and high-quality mango chunks. Frozen varieties are perfect as they provide a good texture.
  • Lime Juice Freshness: For the best flavor, juice your limes fresh. Bottled lime juice lacks the zing you want.
  • Choose Your Tequila Wisely: A good silver tequila makes a huge difference. Look for brands with high quality to ensure the taste shines through.
  • Blend Gradually: Start blending at a low speed and increase gradually. This helps with even mixing and reduces the chances of spillage.
  • Garnish with Flair: Don’t shy away from garnishing. Lime wedges or a sprig of mint can make your drink look as good as it tastes.
