Mango Margarita

Ingredient List

2 oz Blanco tequila
2 oz Sweet & Sour Mix (simple syrup, lemon juice, lime juice)
4 Lime wedges
Peeled & pitted mango
Agave nectar
Ice
Tajin (for the rim)

How to Construct

Lightly rub 1 of the lime wedges around the outside rim of a glass to moisten the glass; reserve the lime wedge. Pour a few tablespoons of salt into a saucer. Roll the rim of the glass in the salt and shake off the excess, being careful not to get any inside the glass. Crush the mangos with a muddler. Fill glass with ice. Squeeze the remaining 3 lime wedges into a cocktail shaker, discarding the rinds. Add the tequila, sweet & sour mix, and agave. Fill the shaker with ice, cover and shake well. Strain the margarita into the prepared glass. Garnish with the reserved lime wedge.

For Spicy Mango Margarita

For a spicy rendition of this margarita, follow the same directions but use Serrano-Infused Tequila. Thinly slice one serrano pepper and infuse with three cups of blanco tequila for at least 24 hours.

Notes

You can also make this with Mango Puree if desired. Instead of muddling the mango, you can use a blender to puree it before adding to the shaker.
