Recipe Ingredients
- Mango: Carefully remove the peel and the pit from the mango. Cube the mango into small pieces. Add the cubed mango to a sealable bag and place it in the freezer overnight. The mango needs to be fully frozen to yield the best texture.
- Tequila: I like using a Blanco tequila. Patron or Casamigos are two great options.
- Lime Juice: Be sure to use fresh squeezed lime juice. It really takes this recipe to the next level. Hereis a link to a handheld citrus juicer.
- Orange Juice: This recipe calls for the juice from one ripe orange. The hint of orange tastes great in this recipe. Plus, it is a great substitute for triple sec which can be high in sugar. Here is a link to a citrus juicer perfect for oranges and larger citrus fruit.
- Agave: for this recipe, I used Organic Agave in The Raw. Be sure to use this on the rim of your glass and in the margarita.
- Ice: This recipe calls for a handful of ice cubes. I used roughly 10-12 cubes.
- Tajin: Add Tajin to a small plate. This is the easiest way to rim the glass.
