Ingredients:
- 2 ounces tequila blanco
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce mango puree (fresh or store-bought)
- ½ ounce orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1-2 thin slices of jalapeño (adjust to your spice preference)
- Agave nectar or simple syrup to taste (optional, depending on the sweetness of your mango)
- Tajín seasoning for rimming (optional)
- Ice
- Mango wedge and jalapeño slice for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your glass. If desired, rub the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge and dip it in Tajín seasoning.
Step 2: Muddle the jalapeño. In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle 1-2 thin slices of jalapeño. Be careful not to over-muddle, as it can make the margarita too spicy.
Step 3: Add the remaining ingredients. Pour in the tequila, lime juice, mango puree, and orange liqueur into the shaker. Add agave nectar or simple syrup to your liking if you prefer a sweeter margarita.
Step 4: Add ice and shake well. Fill the cocktail shaker with ice. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the shaker is well-chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
Step 5: Strain and serve. Double strain the margarita into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
Step 6: Garnish and enjoy! Garnish your Spicy Mango Margarita with a fresh mango wedge and a thin slice of jalapeño.
