This salted Mango Margarita!!!!! Yeap, this awesome cocktail starts with a classic margarita recipe to which we add some truly delicious tropical flavour.

Because!!!! The sweetness from the ripe mangoes, a little warmth from the tequila and the hint of citrus sharpness. All that and more. Oh and the secret ingredient which moves this from a great margarita recipe to an awesome best ever mango margarita of your life recipe. I’m talking about pink Himalayan salt flakes.

And because the mango is really really sweet, you don’t need to use sugar syrup. But please do go ahead and add in some if you prefer a sweeter drink.

So let’s raise a glass and have a refreshing sip or two for Memorial Day, Cinco De Mayo, beach parties, potlucks, grown-up drinks parties, barbecues and cocktail parties all through the summer and heck, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall year looooooooooooooooong.

How to Make Mango Margarita

1. Add the tequila, orange liqueur, fresh mangos, lime juice and Pink Himalayan salt into a blender and blend until smooth.

Chefs tips – for a smoother Mango Margarita, make sure you use very ripe mangoes and a high powered blender. 

Mango Margarita On The Rocks

Hey if you prefer, you can make your margarita on the rocks using a regular cocktail shaker. However, you would need to use some thick mango nectar instead.

Add all the ingredients into the cocktail shaker, then cover and shake, shake, shake away. Pour out over ice and serve.

Mango Margarita Recipe Tips

• Use the tasty Pink Himalayan salt or Sea Salt Flakes for the perfect rim.
• You can use a sugar rim instead of salt rim if you prefer.
• The Mango Margarita recipe is best served cold. If you don’t have enough time to chill it properly, then try freezing it for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Chill your garnishes so that the drink stays cold when you add them in.
• For the orange liqueur, you can use Cointreau or Triple Sec.
• Feel free to add in honey or sugar syrup.
• Add in a pinch of black pepper or chili flakes.
• Grab hold of a handy citrus juicer which will help you whip up your cocktail much much easier.

Chili Mango Margarita

Add a little kick to your cocktail by changing this up to a Chili Mango Margarita. Simply add a slice or two of a mild deseeded chili into your tequila and let this infuse for about 15 minutes before making your margarita. Make sure to remove the chili from the tequila before adding to the cocktail.

Frozen Mango Margarita

Prefer a frozen mango margarita? Worry not I have your back. Simply use frozen mango chunks (available in most grocery stores) instead of fresh mango. Feel free to add in some ice cubes too when blending.

P.S. Using frozen mango means that you can make this tropical margarita at any time of the year. #margaritasindecember
