- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1 ounce Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
For Garnish
- lime wedges
- kosher salt (for rimming the glasses)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into kosher salt spread out on a plate to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside to let the salt adhere.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a shaker filled with ice, combine the mango nectar, silver tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to blend the ingredients and chill the mixture thoroughly.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared salted rim glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Enjoy your refreshing mango margarita immediately!
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Mango nectar can be replaced with fresh mango puree for a fresher taste.
- To make a pitcher, multiply the ingredients accordingly and shake in a large container.
- For a frozen mango margarita, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
