Ingredients
For the Cocktail
- 1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) silver tequila
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup frozen mango chunks
- 2 teaspoons honey, more or less to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus more for serving
- 1 cup ice
For Garnish
- Flaky sea salt, for rimming the glass
- Fresh lime wedge
- Fresh mint leaves
- Sparkling water, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into flaky sea salt to coat it evenly. This adds a savory contrast to the sweetness of the cocktail.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the silver tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, frozen mango chunks, honey, and fresh mint leaves. Blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth, allowing the mint to infuse its fresh flavor.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add the cup of ice to the blender and blend again until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency, ensuring a cold and refreshing texture.
- Serve the Cocktail: Pour the frozen mango mojito-rita mixture into the prepared salt-rimmed glass.
- Optional Topping and Garnish: Top the drink with a splash of sparkling water if desired for a fizzy finish. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves and a lime wedge for an elegant presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Frozen Mango Mojito-Rita!
Notes
- Adjust the honey to your preferred sweetness level for a perfectly balanced cocktail.
- For a stronger mint flavor, muddle the mint leaves slightly before blending.
- Sparkling water topping is optional but adds a delightful fizz.
- Use silver tequila for a clean, crisp flavor; reposado tequila will add a smoky note.
- Make sure the mango chunks are frozen to achieve the perfect slushy texture.
