Cinco de Mayo and a Mango Margarita

I have been sunning myself in Florida for the past three weeks, lo and behold Cinco de Mayo is almot here. I am celebrating in the south and experimenting with the perfect mix of cocktails.. Yesterday I shared a Pineapple Margarita and today we are sampling a Mango Margarita. May 5th is a day when just one tasty cocktail will not suffice.

Summer Cocktails

As i told you yesterday, sampling tasty cocktails poolside has been a glorious way to celebrate my return to travel. Sipping cocktails poolside and sampling all the unique liquor (spirits) we can buy in the US of A. Margarita’s have always been a huge hit in our family but Mango was not something I had tried in the past. A little sweet but totally refreshing.

And can we talk variety and price for just one hot minute. So many flavour options here and the price point is ridiculous, and I mean that in the most positive of ways. Compare a bottle of tequila and you are talking over 50% lower in price. I can sample away and never worry about my budget.

What do I need for a Mango Margarita

A Mango Margarita is not much different than your traditional margarita. Subbing the juice for Mango juice and you are ready to go. Add some fun fruit garnish, pour in a great rimmed glass and you are set to enjoy the mment.

Ingredients 

• 3 Ounce Mango Juice 
• 2 Ounce’s Tequila 
• 1 Ounce Triple Sec  
• 1 Ounce Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice.
• 1/2 Ounce Simple Syrup 
• Ice Cubes 
• Lime Slices 
• Margarita Salt

How to make a Margarita

Creaing this refreshing drink is managed in a few simple steps. Basically pour, mix, shake and pour. It is like ready set go. If your are not an on the rocks person, pull out the blender and crush it all together. My personal preferece is the frozen but Kent likes on the rocks the best.

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
2. Pour in tequila, simple syrup & triple sec.
3. Squeeze in the lime juice.
4. Top off with mango juice.
5. Shake well.
6. Coat the rim of a glass with lime juice and roll in margarita salt.
7. Pour into a glass and garnish with lime slices.
8. Cheers.
