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 to a small plate. Then, wet the rims of your two glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the top edge, then dip the glasses into the tajin. Set them to the side.

Step 2:

Then, make the spicy mango or orange juice infused. Add the fresh orange juice (or mango juice) and jalapeño slices to a cocktail shaker or sealable glass. Then, muddle them by crushing the jalapeño peppers vigorously for 30 seconds with a muddler or the back of a spoon. 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 teaspoon 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!

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 serrano pepper.

What can I use instead of mango juice?

You can use freshly squeezed 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?

Absolutely! You can rim the margarita glasses with coarse sea salt too.

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 teaspoon of hot sauce to the mixture. You can even use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños if you want extra heat.

How to store leftover margaritas:

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.
