Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups ripe mango, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 2 ounces tequila blanco (100% agave recommended)
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice (about one medium lime)
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder (mild or chipotle for smoky twist)
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey (optional)
- 1 to 1 ½ cups ice cubes
- Pinch of salt (for rimming glass or adding to blender)
Instructions
- Prep the glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it into salt or a salt-chili mix. Set aside.
- Add 1 ½ cups chopped ripe mango to the blender (no need to thaw if frozen).
- Pour in 2 ounces tequila blanco and 1 ounce fresh lime juice. Add ¼ teaspoon chili powder and 1 tablespoon agave nectar if desired. Add a pinch of salt if using.
- Add 1 to 1 ½ cups ice cubes, starting with 1 cup and adding more for desired thickness.
- Pulse blend on high until smooth and slushie-like, thick but pourable. Add more ice if needed and blend again.
- Taste and adjust by adding more lime juice or chili powder if desired, then blend briefly.
- Pour into prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge or sprinkle of chili powder. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe mango for best flavor; frozen mango works well and keeps the drink icy cold. Adjust chili powder to taste for desired heat level. For a creamier version, add a splash of coconut milk. Non-alcoholic version can be made by omitting tequila and adding sparkling water or orange juice.
