Equipment Needed

To achieve a smooth and creamy frozen consistency, you’ll need:

• High-speed blender

• Measuring jigger or tablespoon

• Citrus juicer (optional but helpful)

• Margarita or stemmed cocktail glasses

• Small plate for salt rim (optional)

• Straw or long spoon for serving

If your blender is less powerful, allow the frozen mango to soften for a minute or two before blending.

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen mango chunks

• 3 oz silver (blanco) tequila

• 1 oz triple sec or orange liqueur

• 2 oz fresh lime juice

• 1–1.5 oz simple syrup or agave (adjust to taste)

• 1 to 1½ cups ice (as needed for thickness)

Optional Garnish

• Lime wheel

• Mango slice

• Coarse sea salt or Tajín for rim

For a lighter cocktail, reduce tequila and increase lime juice or ice.

Instructions

1. Prepare the glass (optional):
   Run a lime wedge along the rim of each glass and dip into coarse salt or Tajín. Set aside.

2. Add frozen ingredients to blender:
   Place frozen mango chunks and ice in the blender base. Starting with frozen ingredients helps create a thick, slushy texture.

3. Add liquids and sweetener:
   Pour in tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup or agave. Adjust sweetness later if needed.

4. Blend until smooth:
   Begin on low speed and gradually increase to high, blending until creamy and uniform with no large ice chunks remaining.

5. Adjust consistency:

   • Too thick → add a splash of lime juice or a small amount of water

   • Too thin → add a little more ice or mango and blend again

6. Taste and refine flavor:

   • Add more lime juice for brightness

   • Add a touch of syrup for sweetness

   • Blend briefly to incorporate

7. Serve immediately:
   Pour into chilled, rimmed glasses and garnish with mango slices or lime wheels.

Enjoy icy-cold for the best texture and flavor.
