Mango Margarita Recipe
Stay cool and refreshed with this sour and sweet margarita recipe. The combination of the sweetness from the mango and the tequila enhance each other. Use a Blanco or unaged tequila as the aged varieties can overpower the mango or create an oak-y flavor. You can use either pre-frozen chunks of mangoes or peel, cut and freeze your own.
