A sweet and spicy margarita perfect for Cinco De Mayo or any Mexican themed meal. Goes great with chips and salsa!
Ingredients
- ½ fresh mango diced (About ½ cup)
- 4 tablespoon diced red bell pepper divided
- 2 tablespoon diced spicy red pepper I used Fresno peppers, divided
- 3 ounces silver tequila ( I used El Padrino Blanco
- 2 ounces Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup**
- 2 ounces mango juice I used Ceres
- salt for rimming glasses
- ice
Instructions
- Rim the edges of two cocktail glasses with simple syrup and salt. Divide 1 tablespoon of the red bell pepper and ½ tablespoon of the spicy peppers between the glasses. Fill with ice.
- In a large tumbler or cocktail shaker muddle the mango, 3 tablespoons of the red bell pepper and 1 tablespoon of the spicy red pepper. Add the tequila, blood orange liqueur, simple syrup and mango juice and stir or shake well. Strain over the prepared cocktail glasses. Serve immediately.
Notes
**Simple syrup: Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a pan. Bring to a boil and then let simmer 10 min. Let cool completely. Keep in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, in the refrigerator. This will last for many drinks, er, weeks.
You can always add more or less ingredients to your liking. More tequila, less spicy peppers.
