A refreshing, icy, and tangy virgin frozen mango margarita with a spicy Tajin rim, perfect for summer sips and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups or 300g)
  • 2 cups ice cubes (about 300g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey (15ml), optional
  • 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water (120ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning for rimming the glass
  • Pinch of salt mixed with Tajin for the rim (optional)
  • Lime wedges for rimming and garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glasses by pouring Tajin seasoning mixed with a pinch of salt onto a small plate.
  2. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it, then gently dip the rim into the Tajin mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
  3. Peel and chop the mangoes into chunks, removing any fibers or pit. Measure about 2 cups (300g) of mango chunks. If using frozen mango, measure the same amount.
  4. In a blender, combine the mango chunks, ice cubes, fresh lime juice, agave nectar or honey, and cold water or coconut water.
  5. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and frosty, aiming for a thick but drinkable slush.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more agave or honey if needed, blending again briefly. If too thick, add a splash more water and blend briefly.
  7. Pour the frozen mango margarita into the Tajin-rimmed glasses.
  8. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or a small mango slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Freeze mango chunks in advance for a thicker texture without adding too much ice. Use fresh lime juice for best brightness. Dip glass rims gently to keep Tajin intact. Adjust sweetness to taste depending on mango ripeness. Serve immediately for best icy texture. Leftovers can be stored in the freezer and re-blended before serving.
