Margarita - Mango Habanero Margarita
Posted: 10 Mar 2017, 10:19
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 habanero halved
Chili Powder/Salt Rim:
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
The Cocktail:
1 cup frozen mango cubes thawed (or fresh if you have it!)
3 oz habanero simple syrup
4 1/2 oz tequila
1 1/2 oz triple sec
3 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions For Habanero Infused Simple Syrup: Cook on low until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let the habanero steep for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture using a fine sieve into a lidded jar. Store in the fridge until ready for use.
How To Make The Chili Powder/Salt Rim: Mix together chili powder and salt together on a small plate, set aside. Wet the rim of your glasses (with water or use lime juice by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim) and then dip the rim in the chili owder/salt mixture.
Fill the glasses with ice.
Now For The Margarita: Place thawed mango and habanero simple syrup in a high powdered blender. Blend until smooth and set aside. Fill a shaker with a few ice cubes (don't use too many, as the margarita ingredients fill the shaker most of the way). Pour in mango/simple syrup mixture, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Shake until chilled.
Enough For Two Coktails. Pour evenly into two glasses and drink immediately!
