What’s In This Mango Margarita with Jalapeno Peppers?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Mango – I like using fresh or frozen mangoes, depending on what I have on hand. Mango is sweet, juicy, and so delicious blended into this drink.
- Jalapeno peppers for a kick.
- Tequila! I used reposado, but use whatever kind you prefer.
- Lime Juice, preferably freshly squeezed
- Ice
- Margarita Salt… because salt, lime, tequila is a classic combo!
And of course, cactus margarita glasses, because they are SO fun.
A Great No Sugar Added Margarita Cocktail
A lot of margaritas you’d get at a bar or restaurant are made with simple syrup, which is a syrup made of sugar and water. Instead of adding sugar to this recipe, the blended mango adds enough sweetness instead. So you can have a sweet drink that is also refined sugar free!
I’ve been trying to have a fun cocktail every Friday, to celebrate the end of the work (from home!) week and to kickoff the weekend in style. Margaritas s are my summer go-to cocktail, so I’ll be making a lot of these as long as my mango supply hold out. If you want to use frozen mangoes, that would work too! Just use 1 cup frozen mango instead of the fresh.
How Do I Make this Spicy Margarita with Mango?
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender. Start on low speed, and gradually work your way up to high speed. Blend for 1 minute total.
- Take your margarita glass, dip the edges in water or lime juice, and roll the rim in margarita salt.
- Pour the margarita into your salt-rimmed glass, garnish with a slice of lime. Enjoy!
The Best Blender for Margaritas
I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.
Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
A Great Frozen Mango Recipe
If you have frozen mangoes, this a great way into use them in a fun cocktail. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can have amazing homemade cocktails in no time.
