Frosty, creamy, tart and sweet. These Mango Margaritas are the perfect drink to pair with your favorite Mexican dishes or to simply enjoy on its own.
This recipe creates a restaurant worthy mango margarita thanks to using real mango. This recipe can be made with either fresh or frozen mango.
How Do you make a mango margarita?
There’s two ways to enjoy a margarita. Blended or on the rocks. So let’s talk about making a mango margarita on the rocks first.
What does on the rocks mean? Over ice. This is a great option if you don’t have a blender.
To make a mango margarita on the rocks we will combine tequila, triple sec, and mango juice. Stir our shake it up to combine. Then pour over a cup of ice.
How do you make a frozen mango margarita?
This is personally my favorite way to enjoy a margarita but I didn’t always have a blender, so these are still a fun luxury for me.
The recipe below is for one margarita. The basic idea is 1 cup of ice and 1/2 cup of frozen mango per margarita. You can use fresh mangoes also, but I find frozen mango makes for a really creamy drink. And since we’re not using a sweetened juice in this version adding some agave adds a nice sweetness overall.

I LOVE margaritas! I used to write a cocktail recipe every Friday, and many times I was making them and taking pics in the morning. I could fake it sometimes with juice or water, but there’s no faking something like scotch 😉 These look so great, Serene. I would gladly drink one at any time of day!
Oh my gosh Andi, so funny! I never even considered not adding the alcohol! In my defense I had to get the measurements just right so that I didn’t make them too strong 🙂 and apparently I had to do that step at the same time as my photoshoot. Hope you have a great weekend coming up! Thanks for stopping by
