Steps to Make the Best Mango Jalapeno Margarita Recipe
Rim the Glass
Start the preparation of making a spicy mango margarita by rimming your glass with chili lime seasoning or chili powder that gives your drink a signature spicy kick. Simply rub a lime wedge around the rim, then dip it into the seasoning for a flavorful finish.
Blend the Ingredients
Combine the mango juice, mango jalapeno tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and a couple of jalapeno slices in a cocktail shaker. Add a bit of simple syrup if you prefer your spicy margaritas on the sweeter side.
Shake It Up
Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake well for 15-20 seconds. This chills the mixture and helps the flavors to combine smoothly.
Strain and Serve
Pour the mixture into your prepared glass over ice. You can strain the drink to remove the jalapeño pieces or leave them in for an extra burst of spice.
Garnish
Top your jalapeño margaritas with a few more jalapeno slices or a small slice of fresh mango for a tropical presentation.
Tips for Perfecting Your Spicy Mango Margarita Recipe
Whether you want to try the classic margarita drink or its flavorful versions, you can consider these tips for making restaurants-like margaritas at home.
Control the Spice
If you’re not a fan of too much heat, you can always remove the seeds from the jalapeno slices before adding them to your margarita. The seeds are where most of the heat is concentrated.
Fresh Mango vs. Mango Juice
Using fresh mango will give your margarita a richer, more natural flavor, while mango juice is a quicker option when you’re short on time. Both options work well, but blending fresh mango adds a slightly thicker texture to your drink.
Simple Syrup for Sweetness
The level of sweetness in your spicy margaritas can be adjusted with the amount of simple syrup you add. If you prefer your margarita to be more tart, you can skip the syrup altogether.
