How to Make Frozen Mango Margaritas
Step 1 – Add mango, tequila, lime juice, and honey to a blender.
Step 2 – Blend on high until smooth.
Fresh vs. Frozen Mango
If using fresh mango, add a handful of ice to give your frozen mango margarita a thick, frozen consistency. If using frozen mango, add 1/4 C of water at a time to help the ingredients blend. Continue adding water until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
Step 3 – Add a chili lime salt rim to glasses.
Step 4 – Pour frozen mango margarita mixture into two glasses.
Frozen Mango Margarita Recipe FAQs and Tips
Replace whole mango with mango juice. Combine ingredients into a shaker, shake to combine, and pour over ice.
Blanco (silver) tequila is the best option for mango margaritas. They provide a slight citrus flavor while allowing the natural mango flavors shine through.
Use frozen mango to sweeten up a smoothie recipe (like this mango banana smoothie) or to make one of our favorite popsicle recipes (like these mango popsicles)!

Notes

- *Fresh mango: you will need to add ice if you are using fresh mango so that it is cold and thick! You do not need to use water if you are using fresh mango!
- Taste and Adjust: Everyone is different so always taste after blending and adjust anything (lime juice, honey or ice) as you see fit!
- Double: Feel free to double for more than one person!
- Variations: you could even through in a handful of frozen pineapple or even strawberries for a fun twist!
