There is nothing better than a simple cocktail made with real ingredients in a matter of minutes at 5 o'clock on a Friday (or any day really :))! This one is SO GOOD. Especially on those warm summer nights. And the little kick that the chili lime rim adds is perfection! You have to try this.

Why You Will Love This Recipe

Ingredients: I love that all the ingredients are simple and we are using real, fresh mango in here! So good!
Refreshing: This cold, blended margarita (that you can serve on the rocks if you want) is just the perfect addition to any hot day!
Celebrate: Sometimes we make cocktails to help us celebrate and this is the perfect option for any such occasion!

What Will You Need

agave tequila: this is my preferred tequila, but use what you have!
fresh lime juice: fresh lime juice adds that little bit of acidity that is required in any good margarita!
fresh mango: who doesn't love a fresh, perfectly ripe mango! But if you can't find a good one (here is an article about how to pick the perfect mango) then you can easily use frozen mango! If you are using fresh mango throw in a handful of ice to your margarita, if you are using frozen mango you can skip the extra ice!
honey: naturally sweetened!
ice: you only really need to use this if you are using fresh mango! It helps thicken the margarita!
water: you only need this if you are using frozen mango – otherwise there won't be enough liquid to blend up the margarita.
chili powder: just the tiny bit of spice that pairs perfectly with the sweet mango
kosher salt: because every margarita has to have a salt rim of SOME kind!
slice of fresh lime: such a pretty final touch to this delicious margarita!

What is the Best Tequila to Use

I used agave tequila but any tequila will do. Just grab your favorite! If you are looking for a brand recommendation take a look at this list of the 8 Best Tequilas to Use in a Margarita.

Can I Make This a Mocktail

Definitely! Simply omit the tequila and blend up the rest of the margarita ingredients. Still delicious!

What's the Best Way to Dress it Up

For this margarita I dressed it up with a chili lime salt rim and then placed a lime on the rim. This is perfect if you love a little spice in your life! Otherwise feel free to omit the chili powder if you want to keep it basic with a little salt.

*Fresh mango: you will need to add ice if you are using fresh mango so that it is cold and thick! You do not need to use water if you are using fresh mango!
