Ingredients
Scale
Mango Puree
- 10 ounces mango chunks
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Margarita
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3/4 ounce Cointreau
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mango puree
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- Lime wedges for garnish
- Chili lime seasoning for rimming glass and garnish
- Mango chunks for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Puree: In a blender, combine the mango chunks, water, and sugar. Puree the mixture until smooth, setting aside fresh mango puree for the cocktail.
- Rim the Glass: Sprinkle a generous amount of chili lime seasoning on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then turn the glass upside down and slide it around on the chili lime seasoning until the rim is fully coated.
- Fill the Glass with Ice: Carefully add ice to the prepared glass to chill the drink.
- Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, mango puree, and hot honey. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10 to 20 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients thoroughly.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a lime wedge and mango slices dusted with chili lime seasoning, if desired, to add an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot honey or add a dash of chili powder to the cocktail shaker.
- If fresh mango is out of season, frozen mango chunks can be used but thaw before blending.
- Adjust sugar in the mango puree based on the sweetness of the mangoes to balance flavors.
- To make it a larger batch, simply scale all ingredients proportionally.
- Use good quality tequila and fresh lime juice for best flavor.
