Need to Troubleshoot?

What if I don’t have time to thaw the mango?

You can totally use frozen mango, but swap out the ice for 1/2 cup of water.

Can I make this mango margarita on the rocks?

Sure! Add in all the ingredients to your blender except for the ice. Put the ice in your glasses, and then pour your mango margarita mix over the ice.

How can I turn this into a spicy mango margarita?

You have a couple of options to do that. The first option is to run a wedge of citrus around the rim of the glass and then sprinkle some chili powder on it. You can also slice up jalapeno peppers that can float in your cocktail. Or you can add a bit of chili pepper water into your mix. That will definitely take this classic margarita mixture up a notch! Cayenne pepper would also work too.

This would be perfect for Cinco De Mayo, served with other delicious Mexican foods.

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen mango?

Yes, that’s totally fine. Just be sure to keep the fresh mangoes in the fridge so it’s nice and cold when you put them in the blender. Otherwise, your drink won’t get cold enough. Make sure to use ripe mangos to keep the mango nectar and flavor.

How can I make this look fancy?

It’s super easy to make it a bit more Instagrammable. Simply rim the glass with lime juice with a lime wedge and dip it into sugar. Voila! You can also add some fresh mint to it as well. Leaving some lime wedges hanging on the cup will make it look fancy and extra delicious too!

Margarita Cocktail FAQs

What’s in a margarita cocktail?

A margarita is a citrus-infused cocktail consisting of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice. Usually, it’s served either blended with ice, on the rocks (poured over ice) or without any ice at all. And sometimes, it’s served with a bit of salt on the rim of your glass.

Is a margarita a Hawaiian cocktail?

No, the margarita definitely originated in Latin America. However, this recipe includes mango, which is very popular in Hawaiian cocktails. And you can even add in chunks of pineapple to add more Hawaiian flavors.

How do you make frozen margaritas thicker?

To make your homemade mango margaritas thicker, try adding in some agave nectar or honey. It will make a sweeter margarita but also thicker too!
