Mango Margarita

We absolutely loved these frozen margaritas. We made them while cruising Thailand. They were perfect sundowners, enjoyed on deck surrounded by the beauty of the islands, hongs and emerald seas.

This is what I did for two Mango Margaritas…

If life gives you limes, make margaritas.                          

– Jimmy Buffett

Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key ingredient to a good margarita. Nothing beats the taste of the fresh lime, and here in the tropics I have easy access to limes most of the time. Hence a lot of the cocktails I make for sundowners have the zesty, fresh flavour of lime in them. It’s a great source of vitamin c, and does therefore keep the scurvy at bay…. well that’s what I tell myself anyway!

For my classic margarita I use…

2 parts Tequila
2 parts cointreau
1 part fresh lime

ice cubes
salt
lime juice

To make the margarita …

I dip the rim of my serving glasses into a little lime juice and then dip it into salt.

I add some roughly crushed ice cubes to my prepared glasses.

In a cocktail shaker, I shake the first three ingredients with a couple of ice cubes until well shaken.

I then pour the delicious concoction into my prepared glass.

Now all I need to complete the picture is my hammock, the shade of a couple of coconut trees and a good book to read. Ahh, paradise!
