Salt Traders Mango Margaritas




Source of Recipe


Salt Traders


Recipe Introduction


Serves 2.


List of Ingredients




1 ripe mango (If necessary, purchase your mangoes days in advance, as they are one of the few fruits that ripen well off the vine.)
2½ ounces quality tequila (100% agave)
2 tablespoons simple syrup, or to taste
1 ounce Cointreau
1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
Ice cubes


Recipe



Pour a thin layer, approximately 1/8”, of Salt Traders Margarita Salt into a plate just slightly larger than the rims of your margarita glasses.

Salt the rims of two margarita glasses by rubbing a wedge of lime around the rims to moisten. Then immediately place the glasses, one at a time, in the plate of salt, so that the salt adheres to the lime-moistened rim.

Slice the mango lengthwise on either side of the pit. Remove the skin, and roughly chop into approximately 1-inch pieces. Add to blender, along with the tequila, simple syrup, Cointreau and fresh lime juice. Blend to combine slightly, then, while keeping the blender running, add approximately 1 cup of ice or more until desired texture is reached.

For the Simple Syrup: Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, until sugar dissolves. Cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator.
