My kids and I go through cases of mangoes- fighting for the last piece. Margaritas are my favorite cocktail. You see why this is the perfect recipe, right? 🙂 Perfect for Mother’s Day! Perfect for Fiesta Friday #16 at The Novice Gardener too! I didn’t join the party last week and have to make up for it this week with two contributions. (My fabulous Mother’s Day dinner will be next….)
This recipe was adapted from Food and Wine, contributed by David Yan of Casa Noble Estate. We added a little bit of granulated sugar to the chile powder coating on the rim of the glass. My kids enjoyed a non-alcoholic version as well. Super tasty!
Yield: Makes 2 drinks
- 1 cup ice
- 1 lime wedge
- 3 ounces tequila
- 1 small mango—peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped (3 ounces)
- 1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp chile powder
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 ounces Cointreau
- 1 1/2 ounces agave nectar
- 3 ounces Italian grapefruit soda
- Spread the chile powder and granulated sugar in a dish. Moisten the rim of a margarita glass with the lime wedge; dip the rim in the chile powder to coat.
- In a blender, puree the mango. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into the glass and serve.

Awesome! I am going to try this! I have everything to make this at home.
I used Italian grapefruit soda from Trader Joe’s… it is sweet but still has a little zing. Enjoy!! 🙂
Just in time for weekend enjoyment! Sounds delicious…and they’re such a beautiful color! In order to get my daily fruit requirements in, I should probably have 2 drinks…right?
I had two… 🙂
😀
I can use a refreshing mango margarita! Looks delicious!
Soooo tasty! Let me know if you try it! 🙂
How special your kids must feel sipping on such an elegant drink. I have memories of “virgin” strawberry daiquiris as a kid; a big highlight at fancy dinners out. A big fan of mangoes, this house, we are taking these to the beach. Aloha and Mahalo.
Cheers! Enjoy!! 🙂
It may only be midday here but I could definitely go for one of these right now! Margaritas are my favourite cocktail too, I don’t experiment enough with them though!
Thank you! These are delicious- a must try 🙂 I have a Blackberry Margarita post too…. so many options 🙂 Let me know what you think!
