Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup triple sec
1/2 cup tequila
2 cups frozen mango
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 lime wedge for the chili salt rim (optional)
Kosher or coarse salt for the chili salt rim (optional)
Chili powder for the chili salt rim (optional)

Instructions

Add the lime juice, triple sec, tequila, frozen mango, and agave into a blender and blend until smooth (about 30 seconds-1 minute).
For the chili salt rim: combine the salt and chili powder together and spread onto a small plate. Run the lime around half of the margarita glass rim (where you'd like the salt to stick to), then dip it in the chili salt. Shake off the excess salt, then fill the glass with the mango margarita. Repeat for each glass, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Variation: Mango Margarita on the Rocks

If you’d prefer a mango margarita on the rocks, the recipe will be a little bit different than what’s written, and will instead be: 2 parts tequila, 1 part lime juice, 2 parts mango juice (we like this one the best), and a ¼ part agave. So for 2 mango margaritas on the rocks, you’ll need…

½ cup tequila
¼ cup lime juice
½ cup mango juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar

Variation: Virgin Mango Margarita

When it comes to mocktails, we typically suggest just swapping the alcohol for sparkling water or kombucha (find our full mocktail how-to here), but because this recipe is written for a frozen margarita, those swaps won’t work. Just leaving out the tequila altogether and not replacing it with anything also won’t work because we need that extra bit of liquid so that our blender can do its job! Here’s what we recommend:

For a regular virgin mango margarita - for a recipe as similar to the alcoholic version that we’ve written, we recommend just swapping in a ½ cup of water for the tequila. The water will act as a great liquid addition without altering the flavor of the margarita.
For a creamy virgin mango margarita - if you want something a bit more decadent, we recommend swapping the tequila for an equal amount of full-fat canned coconut milk. YUM!
