A vibrant and refreshing Hot Honey Spicy Mango Margarita that combines sweet mango puree with a kick of hot honey and zesty chili lime seasoning for a perfect balance of flavors in a single serving cocktail.
Ingredients
Scale
Mango Puree
- 10 ounces mango chunks
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Margarita
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3/4 ounce Cointreau
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mango puree
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- Lime wedges, chili lime seasoning, and mango chunks for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Mango Puree: In a blender, combine the mango chunks, water, and sugar. Puree the mixture until completely smooth to create a fresh mango puree base for the margarita.
- Rim the Glass: Sprinkle a generous amount of chili lime seasoning onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then invert the glass and roll the rim over the chili lime seasoning to coat it evenly.
- Add Ice: Fill the prepared glass with ice carefully to chill the drink without diluting the seasoned rim.
- Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, freshly prepared mango puree, and hot honey. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds to blend and chill the ingredients thoroughly.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture carefully into the prepared glass, ensuring a smooth pour without disturbing the seasonal rim or ice.
- Garnish: Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and mango slices lightly dusted with chili lime seasoning for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to control the spiciness of the cocktail according to your preference.
- For best results, use ripe, fresh mango chunks for a naturally sweet and vibrant flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the sugar in the mango puree or omit it altogether.
- Chill the glass beforehand for a colder margarita experience.
- The chili lime seasoning adds a unique tangy and spicy kick that complements the sweetness of the mango and the heat from the hot honey.
