Mad’s Expert Tips for the Best Frozen mango margaritas 🥭
- Shaken instead of frozen -You can make this a shaken drink instead of a frozen one. Just replace the frozen mango and sweetener with 1/2 cup of mango juice or mango puree. Shake the mango juice in a cocktail shaker with the tequila and lime juice with ice. Pour over ice and top with a little bit of lime seltzer water. Garnish with a wedge of lime and serve.
- No alcohol? No problem – You can easily turn this mango margarita into a mocktail! Just leave out the tequila and the triple sec. Replace the tequila with the same amount of sparkling water – I prefer to use a lime flavored one. And you can add a splash of orange juice in place of the triple sec.
- Add some heat – Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper powder to add a little kick to this recipe.
- Get creative with choice of fruit – You can also use this same recipe with any of your favorite frozen fruit. Strawberries or pineapple would be delicious.
- Make ahead of time – Prepare ahead of time and freeze in a silicone ice cube tray. Then, blend just before serving.
My favorite way to serve this frozen mango margarita recipe is on taco Tuesday alongside some amazing homemade tacos, like Ground Beef Baked Tacos, Spiced Chickpea Tacos, or Hidden Veggie Turkey Tacos.
