Ingredients:
- cup Ripe Mango, peeled and cubed (or 1 cup frozen mango chunks)
- oz Fresh Lime Juice (about 1 large lime)
- oz – 0.75 oz Agave Nectar or Simple Syrup (adjust to taste)
- oz Blanco (Silver) Tequila (100% agave recommended)
- oz Orange Liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- –2 oz Water or Orange Juice (for consistency adjustment)
- – 2 cups Ice Cubes
- Coarse Salt (Kosher or Sea Salt) for rim (Optional)
- Lime Wedges for garnish
- Extra Mango Chunks for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Rim (Optional): Moisten the rims of your chosen glasses with a lime wedge. Place salt onto a shallow plate and gently roll the outer edge of each glass into the salt to coat evenly. Set aside.
- Measure & Combine Fruit Base: Add the cubed mango, fresh lime juice, and sweetener (agave/syrup) into the blender jar.
- Add Spirits: Pour in the tequila and orange liqueur.
- Blend Initial Mix: Pulse the ingredients until the mango is mostly broken down but still slightly textured.
- Add Ice & Final Blend: Add the ice cubes. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and thick, scraping down the sides if necessary. If the mixture is too thick to move, add a splash of water or orange juice.
- Taste Test: Briefly taste the mixture. Adjust sweetness (add more agave) or tartness (add a squeeze of lime) as needed.
- Pour & Serve: Pour the blended mixture immediately into the prepared, rimmed glasses.
- Garnish: Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a small piece of fresh mango. Serve immediately.
