How to make spicy mango margaritas

These spicy mango margaritas are so easy to make in under 5 minutes. They are naturally sweetened with fresh mangos and have the perfect amount of heat. You can even make them into frozen margaritas too! Here are step-by-step instructions:

Step 1:

First, add tajin onto a small plate; then, wet the rim on your two glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the top edge, then dip it into the tajin. Set them to the side.

Step 2:

Then, make the infused spicy mango or orange juice. Do this by adding the fresh orange juice (or mango juice) and jalapeño slices into a cocktail shaker or sealable glass. Then muddle them by crushing the jalapeño peppers with a muddler or the back of a spoon and vigorously for 30 seconds. Finally, strain and pour the spicy juice into a high-speed blender.

Step 3: regular spicy mango margaritas

Add the fresh mango cubes, tequila, and lime juice, to the blender with the spicy orange or mango juice and blend until completely smooth.

Step 3: frozen spicy mango margaritas

Add the FROZEN mango, tequila, and lime juice to the blender with the spicy orange or mango juice and blend until completely smooth. Add 4 – 8 ice cubes and blend (add more ice until you get your desired consistency).

Tip: Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more orange juice or mango for sweetness OR more tequila if you prefer a strong margarita. For an extra-spicy margarita, add ½ tsp of hot sauce.

Step 4:

Pour your spicy mango margarita into tajin-rimmed glasses and garnish with lime wedges and extra jalapeño slices. This recipe makes two margaritas; enjoy!

Recipe tips:

1. Infuse the juice with jalapeños. This is my #1 tip for these spicy mango margaritas. You must infuse the spiciness of the jalapenos into the juice by muddling the peppers. If you skip this, you’ll make a regular mango margarita.
2. Strain the jalapeño out before blending. If you skip this, there may be little specs or pieces of jalapeño in your margaritas.
3. Make them into frozen margaritas. You can turn these mango margaritas into frozen margaritas by using frozen mango instead of fresh mango. I left detailed instructions in the recipe card below.
4. Use orange or mango juice. The best part about this recipe is that you can use mango or orange juice to sweeten the margaritas. They will still taste like mango if you use orange juice. You can even squeeze 2 large oranges instead of buying orange juice.
5. Make pitcher margaritas. Make these spicy mango margaritas into pitcher margaritas by scaling this recipe by 4 to 6. A pitcher of this spicy mango margarita recipe will serve 10 – 12 people. I left detailed instructions below.
6. Add extra spiciness. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of hot sauce to the blender if you want more spice. I reccomend tasting the spicy mango margarita before servings them to test out the spiciness level.

How to make pitcher spicy mango margaritas:

Make this recipe into a spicy mango margarita pitcher by scaling this recipe by 6. Follow the exact instructions in the recipe card by blending all your ingredients. Serve the mango margs in a large pitcher! A pitcher of this spicy mango margarita recipe will serve 10 – 12 people.

How to make frozen spicy mango margaritas:

You can easily make this spicy mango margarita recipe into FROZEN margaritas. Simply use frozen mango pieces instead of fresh mango. You can even add 4 – 8 ice cubes to thicken the frozen margs. I left detailed instructions below in the recipe card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeño?

You can use a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeno, but your margaritas will be spicier. Serrano peppers are hotter than jalapeños, so I recommend starting with half or a third of a serrano pepper.

What can I use instead of mango juice?

You can use freshly squeed or store-bought orange juice instead of mango juice.

Can I use fresh mango?

Yes, you can certainly use fresh mango for this recipe. If you are making frozen margaritas, use frozen mango chunks.

What is tajin seasoning?

Tajin seasoning is a traditional and popular Mexican spice made from dried peppers, lime, and salt. It has some heat but is not spicy.

Can I use salt instead of tajin?

Can you make margaritas with vodka?

Margaritas are typically made with tequila; however, you can also use vodka if desired.

How spicy are these mango margaritas?

The best part about this recipe is that you control the spiciness of these mango margaritas. I recommend starting with one jalapeño and adding more if desired. For an extra-spicy margarita, you can add ½ tsp of hot sauce to the mixture. You can even use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños if you want extra heat.

Spicy mango margaritas are best enjoyed right after you make them. If you make extras, you can refrigerate the leftovers for up to 1 day. Give them a stir before you serve them if you store them.
