Mango Margarita Cocktail

This Mango Margarita Cocktail is a variation of the basic Margarita, one of the favorite beverages of all time. It's also easy to make from scratch. I added mango puree, made from fresh Ataulfo mangoes. This mango variety is similar to the Philippine carabao mangoes, which are sweeter and less fibrous. Serve this drink straight up, on the rocks or frozen. Shake this well, and long enough in the cocktail shaker for best results. It refreshes on a warm day, or on chilly days, it warms you up.

Equipment

Blender or food processor, to puree mangoes
Cocktail Shaker
Margarita cocktail glasses - 3

Ingredients

2 whole fresh limes, sliced in wedges, to moisten glass rim, and for garnish
1 to 2 Tablespoons fine grain sea salt, or margarita salt for glass rims
2 to 3 whole large fresh ripe mangoes, peeled, sliced, pureed, pit discarded
1 cup ice cubes
½ cup fresh orange juice
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 cup tequila
4 oz. triple sec
⅕ cup orange liqueur Contreau

Instructions

To prepare the margarita glasses:

Rub the rim of the glasses with the 1 or 2 wedges of lime.
Place the salt on a medium-sized plate.
Turn the Margarita glasses upside down on the salt on the plate. Let the moistened rim touch the salt. Swirl the glass around so the salt sticks.
Once the salt sticks to the rims, remove the glass and set aside. On warm days, I chill the glasses till ready to use.

To prepare the cocktail drink:

In a blender or food processor, puree the sliced mango fruit for 1 to 2 minutes, till you have a thick juice.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, and pour the mango puree, orange juice, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and orange liquer.
Shake well and long enough so all ingredients are blended well, aerated and diluted.
Pour into the prepared Margarita glasses. Garnish the edge of the rim with a wedge of lime.
Serve straight up, on the rocks or even frozen.
