Marvelous Mango Margarita

My marvelous mango margarita recipe is so frosty and delicious you will want to run to the store to buy a mango!

Mangos and Me

Do I love mangos?

No.  I don’t.

Do I like mangos?  Sort of.  I’ve grown to like them.

The three fruits that I’m not fond of are mangos, persimmons and papayas.  I think it is because they are too sweet for me.

But, as I’ve been talking about my tastes changing through the years, I think they are changing also regarding these fruits.  At least they have for mangos.  I had some mango recently before I even knew that it was mango.

Imagine the surprise on my face: eyes wide, mouth open in a perfect “O”, hands slapped on cheeks.

I stammer, “B-b-b-but, I don’t like mangos.”

I blink rapidly as I look at that fruit that used to offend my very existence.

What else do I like that I used to loathe?  I can’t wait to figure that out.

Even if I didn’t like mangos, pair the fruit with tequila, Cointreau and some lime and you’ve got a winning cocktail. So let’s do this!

The ingredients for the Mango Margarita and the Mixing

We have some Patron Silver tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, simple syrup and mango!

First thing I do is get my blender container and measure in 2 ounces tequila, 1 ounce Cointreau, 1 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup.

Note:  If your mango is super sweet, you may not need the simple syrup.  My mango was not sweet so I opted for some simple syrup.

Now I measure out a heaping 1/2 cup of mango.

Into the blender it goes with the other ingredients!  I also added approximately 1 1/2 cups of ice.

First, I attach my blender to the base and blend away!

I grab my massive margarita glass and pour the mango margarita in it. I also garnish this delicious cocktail with 3 chunks of mango.

See how happy that little doll looks!?  She’s peeking around the glass to show you her glee!

Now, let’s look at a vertical view.

Melting fast because of the high temperatures here in Massachusetts!

I hope you enjoyed this mango margarita recipe as much as I loved to drink this cocktail!

Please feel free to Yum the recipe to Yummly, Pin any photo to Pinterest and any other sharing you’d like to do.  I so appreciate it.  And leave me a comment.  Let me know what you eat now that you used to dislike.  I’d love to know.

And as always, may all your dishes/drinks be delish!
