Ingredients
2 oz tequila
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz mango puree (or fresh mango blended)
1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Fresh chili slices (like jalapeño or serrano), to taste
Ice
Salt and chili powder mix for rim (optional)
Mango or chili slice for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim, then dip it into the salt and chili powder mix for an extra zing.
In a shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, mango puree, simple syrup, and a few chili slices.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over fresh ice.
Garnish with a slice of mango or a fresh chili slice for a vibrant finish.
Pro Tips:
For a smokier flavor, consider using a reposado tequila, which adds depth and warmth to the cocktail.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chili slices. For a milder touch, remove the seeds from the chili before shaking.
