Print Recipe

A vibrant and easy-to-make margarita combining tangy tamarind, sweet mango, and a spicy chili rim, perfect for summer parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped (preferably Ataulfo variety)
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (smoked chili powder preferred)
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco (100% agave)
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice (about 30 ml)
  • 1 ounce triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup (optional)
  • Coarse sea salt for rimming the glass
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chili-salt rim by mixing 1 tablespoon chili powder with 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt on a small plate.
  2. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into the chili-salt mixture. Set the glass aside.
  3. Place the chopped mango in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add a teaspoon of water if needed to achieve a thick, velvety puree.
  4. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces tequila blanco, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, 1 ounce triple sec, 2 tablespoons tamarind paste, 1 teaspoon agave syrup (optional), and 2 tablespoons mango puree.
  5. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
  6. Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of chili powder on top for extra kick.
  8. Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin slice of mango on the rim.

Notes

If tamarind paste is thick, stir with a tablespoon of warm water before adding to the shaker. Adjust sweetness with agave syrup based on mango ripeness. For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and triple sec with sparkling water and a splash of orange juice. Use smoked chili powder for a subtle smoky flavor. Taste before serving and adjust lime or agave syrup as needed.
