Celestial Mango Margarita

Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/3 cup silver tequila
• 1/3 cup orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
• Coarse salt, for rimming glasses
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves and lime wheels, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, puree the diced mangoes until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard any pulp remaining in the sieve. Measure out 1 cup of the strained mango juice and set aside.
2. In another blender, combine the mango juice, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and agave syrup or honey. Blend until well combined and smooth.
3. Wet the rims of six glasses with a lime wedge and dip them in coarse salt to rim the glasses. Fill each glass with ice cubes.
4. Pour the margarita mixture into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake well. Strain into the prepared glasses.
5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime wheels. Serve immediately.
