A quick and easy tropical frozen margarita slushie blending fresh mangoes, pineapple, tequila, and lime juice for a refreshing summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh mangoes, peeled and chopped (or frozen)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned in juice, drained
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) tequila blanco
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup (or honey/agave nectar)
  • 2 cups (about 300 grams) ice cubes
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional garnish: lime wedges, pineapple slices, chili powder

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 2 medium ripe mangoes into chunks. Drain 1 cup of pineapple chunks if using canned, or chop fresh pineapple into similar size pieces.
  2. Squeeze about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh lime juice from 2-3 limes. Strain seeds out if possible.
  3. Combine mango chunks, pineapple, tequila blanco, triple sec, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender.
  4. Add 2 cups (about 300 grams) of ice cubes to the blender.
  5. Start blending on low speed to break up the ice, then increase to high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and slushy.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more simple syrup or lime juice if desired. Blend briefly again if needed.
  7. Pour into chilled margarita glasses or preferred glassware. Garnish with lime wedge or pineapple slice. Optionally rim glasses with salt or chili powder before pouring.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best creaminess and sweetness. Add salt inside the blender to enhance flavors. Chill glasses before serving to maintain icy texture. For non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and triple sec and add extra pineapple or orange juice or sparkling water. Blend in pulses if blender struggles. Store leftovers in freezer and re-blend before serving.
