A quick and easy frozen mango margarita slushy with a spicy chili salt rim that offers a sweet, tart, and icy refreshment perfect for summer or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup (240ml) silver tequila
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey
  • 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
  • Lime wedges for rimming the glass

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chili Salt Rim (5 minutes): In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt with 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Mix well. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the chili salt mixture, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set the glasses aside.
  2. Juice the Limes (2-3 minutes): Using a citrus juicer or by hand, extract about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh lime juice. Make sure no seeds get in.
  3. Blend the Slushy (5-6 minutes): In the blender, combine 2 cups (300 g) of frozen mango chunks, 1 cup (240 ml) of silver tequila, 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons of agave syrup, and 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes. Pulse first to break down the ice, then blend on high speed until smooth and slushy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  4. Taste and Adjust (1-2 minutes): Taste the slushy and add more agave or honey for sweetness or a squeeze of lime for tang if desired. Adjust consistency with a splash of cold water or more ice if needed.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the frozen mango margarita slushy into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge or a small slice of fresh mango on the rim.

Notes

Use quality frozen mango chunks for best texture and flavor. Fresh lime juice is essential for brightness. Adjust chili powder amount for spice tolerance. Blend in short bursts to avoid overheating the blender. Chill glasses before serving to keep the slushy colder longer. For alcohol-free version, replace tequila with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
