These refreshing Mango Margaritas are great for warm summer weather. The mango lends great fruity flavor with the contrast of the spicy rim. These will be a hit at your next fiesta!
I love myself a good Margarita, that is no lie. These Mango Margaritas are one of my favorites. I’m a huge lover of mango flavor so they really make a tasty drink.
I love how easy Margaritas are to whip up, you pretty much just throw everything into a blender and you have yourself a drink, how much easier can you get than that?
I love easy recipes, especially drinks that I don’t have to spend a lot of time on mixing and concocting, and these Mango Margaritas are the perfect solution to that.
They are fun, flavorful and a perfect summer drink that you can serve up to friends or family or just have as an accompaniment to your meal, you just can’t go wrong with on!

HOW TO MAKE MANGO MARGARITAS:
- Add mango, tequila, orange liquor, lime juice, and the ice into the canister of a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Rub the edge of your serving glass with the cut part of the lime you used for juicing. Mix the margarita salt and tajin in a shallow dish. Dip the rim of the glass into the margarita salt mixture.
- Pour the contents of the blender into your prepared glass and optionally garnish with more lime slices.
CAN I USE FRESH MANGO?
Technically you can use fresh mango in this recipe since we are using ice, it just will not be as “frozen” as you see in the photos. That is why we like to use frozen mangos.
We usually keep frozen fruit on hand to whip up smoothies, or drinks like this so it is just a more convenient and faster way to make certain recipes.
WHAT KIND OF ORANGE LIQUOR SHOULD I USE?
You can really choose what kind of orange liquor that you like to use in this recipe, there are a few. You can use Triple Sec which will be cheaper and easier to find liquor.
Some others that you might want to consider that are a little pricier but if you use them a lot would be beneficial include Cointreau and Grand Marnier.
Whatever you choose will work as long as it is an orange liquor, it helps give the drink some more flavor and we really love adding it to it.
HOW TO STORE:
You can actually store these Mango Margaritas, if we make a larger batch we will pour the remaining mixture into a freezer bag and place it in the freezer for later.
This will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks max. You can remove it from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator or countertop until it defrosts to your desired consistency.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- We like to use white/silver tequila for this recipe, you can use others if you like.
- Salting the rim and adding some chili powder really gives a nice contrast from the fruit of the recipe itself.
- You can use fresh mango, but it will change the texture of the drink itself.
- Use your favorite orange liquor, see my tips above on types to use.
- These can be frozen for later consumption, see my tips above on how to do that.
- Double this batch or more to make pitchers so you don’t have to keep blending margaritas all night.
If you want that great fruity, flavorful and refreshing summer drink then you making these Mango Margaritas are the perfect solution.
