Blended Smoked-Sea-Salt Mango Margarita
Ingredients
2 cups frozen mango chunks (creates a thick, velvety frozen texture)
4 oz high-quality silver tequila (100% blue agave)
2 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz triple sec or Cointreau
1-2 tbsp agave nectar (depending on fruit sweetness)
1 cup ice cubes
Rim Garnish
- 1 tbsp smoked sea salt
- 1 tsp Tajín
- Fresh lime wedges
Instructions
- Dress Glass Rims: Run a fresh lime wedge around the lips of two margarita glasses. In a small shallow dish, combine smoked sea salt and Tajín. Dip the glass rims into the mixture to coat evenly.
- Layer Blender: Pour liquid ingredients—tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and agave nectar—into the bottom of a high-powered blender.
- Incorporate Frozen Base: Add the frozen mango chunks and ice cubes on top of the liquid layer.
- Process Until Creamy: Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until a completely smooth, velvety slush forms. If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of water or extra lime juice to ease blending.
- Pour and Serve: Carefully pour the frozen slush into the garnished glasses without disrupting the salt rim. Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and serve immediately with a straw.
