Mango Margaritas
When we moved into our home almost two summers ago, we knew we had inherited a mango tree. Last year, I got one mango from it. This year? About a million. Literally drowning in mangoes over here. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good ripe mango, but holy, there are so many and we cannot even reach half of them the tree is so large.
Our neighborhood is also inhabited by a whole zoo of animals including bears, deer, raccoons, you name it who have also discovered the mangoes. We finally had to harvest as many as we could last week and now I am left with an endless of supply of mangoes waiting to ripen so I can dice them up and freeze.
Mango margaritas and mango salsa were obviously the first on my list. These are super simple to blend up and taste so fresh and fruity from the ripe mango. You only need a small handful of ingredients including tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, and lime juice.
Recipe Tips and Suggestions:
- Definitely use frozen mango chunks for this recipe. Alternatively, you’d have to use ice with fresh unthawed mango. I obviously froze my own mangoes from our tree, but store bought works just fine.
- A good blender will serve you well for these, but it is not required.
- These are on a thicker side as there isn’t a ton of liquid in these. I also use Cointreau to add some nice orange flavor, but if you don’t want to add that too, you can swap it for orange juice and could add more if needed to thin to your desired consistency.
- The recipe below makes enough for about 3 margaritas or 2 pretty big ones. They are a bit boozy so you can lessen the booze if you are making these for two servings.
- I made my own simple syrup, but you can also it buy it from the store. I prefer simple syrup over just adding sugar directly as its not dissolved and makes the drink more grainy.
- I did a sugared rim with a pinch of chili powder, but you could also use salt and/or chili powder if you prefer saltiness over sweet.
