Chamango Margarita Recipes

MANGONADAS MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Arrange the mango chunks on a silicone-lined sheet pan in single layer. Place the pan, uncovered in the freezer and freeze the fruit until solid, which should take about 2 hours. Alternatively, you can put the mango into a freezer bag and freeze them until solid for up to two months.
• Cut one of the limes in half. Cut one of those lime halves into 4 wedges. Juice the remaining half and the other whole lime to extract 1/3-1/2 cup of lime juice to use in the mangonadas later. Set this juice aside.
• Pour the Tajín onto a salad plate or bowl.Use one of the lime wedges to wet the rim of the margarita glasses. Dip the rims into the Tajín to coat it thoroughly. Set both of the glasses aside to dry. Discard the use wedge of lime.
• To the carafe of your blender, add the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, water, and sugar. Next add the frozen mango chunks and the ice.
• Place the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stop the blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the carafe. Blend again on high for 30-45 seconds. Stop and scrape the blender again. If you find the mangonada is too thick add a tablespoon more tequila or water to the blender.Blend once more on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is very smooth and free of lumps.
• Spoon or pour the chamoy into each of the goblets, dividing it equally between the glasses. Swirl the chamoy in the glass slightly.
• Divide the mangonada mixture evenly between the glasses and garnish each with a tamarind-chile straw.
• Serve and enjoy responsibly.

MANGONADA! (OR CHAMOYADA, CHAMANGO)

Steps:

• PREP: This is optional, but if you want that pretty rim, pour Chamoy into a rimmed plate. Then pour the Tajin seasoning into another plate. Dip the rim of your glass into the Chamoy then in the Tajin until the rim is coated completely.
• BLEND: Add the frozen mangos, 12 ounces of mango nectar, lime juice, sugar, and ice into the blender. The amount of sugar you use will depend on how sweet your mangos are! I usually use about 2 tablespoons. Blend until the mango mixture resembles a soft sorbet. If the mixture gives you trouble, add the remaining 2 ounces of mango nectar and continue blending.
• DECORATE AND SERVE: Pour a bit more chamoy into the bottom and around the inside of the glass. Add enough mango puree to reach about halfway up the cup, add more Chamoy then load up the cup with more mango puree. Top with straws, mango slices/chunks, more tajin, chamoy, and a tamarind candy! Serve immediately.
