For the Mango Purée:
- 1 ripe mango (or about 1 1/2 cups of frozen mango chunks)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
For the Margarita:
- 2 ounces tequila (preferably silver or reposado)
- 1 ounce triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 ounce lime juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
For the Rim and Garnish:
- Chamoy sauce (a tangy chili sauce that adds a fun flavor!)
- Tajín seasoning (a mix of chili, lime, and salt)
- Lime wedges
- Fresh mango slices (for garnish)
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
1. Make the Mango Purée
Start by making your mango purée. If you’re using a fresh mango, peel and chop it into chunks. Combine the mango with orange juice and lime juice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste the purée, and if you’d like it sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup and blend again until fully mixed.
Tip: If you prefer a thicker consistency or a colder drink, you can use frozen mango chunks. It also adds a more slushy texture to your margarita.
2. Prepare the Glass
To create the signature Mangonada margarita look, we’re going to coat the rim of the glass with chamoy sauce and Tajín seasoning. Start by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, and then dip it into a plate filled with Tajín seasoning. This will give your margarita a tangy, spicy kick from the very first sip!
Tip: For extra fun, drizzle some extra chamoy sauce inside the glass to add more flavor to each sip.
3. Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec (or your preferred orange liqueur), fresh lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture.
Tip: You can adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your sweetness preference. If you like it less sweet, you can skip it entirely, as the mango purée already provides a nice balance of sweetness.

4. Assemble the Mangonada Margarita
Fill your prepared glass with ice cubes. Pour the margarita mixture into the glass, filling it about halfway.
Then, add a generous spoonful of your mango purée on top of the margarita. Use a spoon or straw to gently swirl the mango purée into the margarita for a fun, layered effect. The result will be a beautiful, colorful drink that’s bursting with tropical flavors!
5. Garnish and Serve
Garnish your homemade mangonada margarita with a fresh mango slice on the rim of the glass and a lime wedge. For an added burst of flavor, sprinkle a little more Tajín seasoning on top or drizzle some chamoy sauce over the rim. Now, you’re ready to enjoy!
Variations and Tips:
- Spicy Kick: Want to make your Mangonada Margarita even spicier? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or more Tajín to the mango purée or rim to kick things up a notch.
- Frozen Version: For a slushy version, blend the margarita ingredients (tequila, lime juice, triple sec) with ice before pouring into your glass. This creates a frozen Mangonada Margarita that’s perfect for hot summer days.
- Mocktail Version: If you’re not drinking alcohol, you can easily turn this into a non-alcoholic drink by omitting the tequila and orange liqueur. Simply top it off with a bit more orange juice or soda water for a refreshing, tangy mocktail.
