Authentic Mangonada Recipes

Steps:

• Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
• Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
• To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place 1 teaspoon chamoy on a plate. Place 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning on another plate. Dip rim of glass first in chamoy, then in chili-lime seasoning. Set aside.
• Combine frozen mango, water, and lime juice in a blender; blend until smooth.
• Place 1/2 tablespoon chamoy in the bottom of the glass. Add 1/2 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning and 1/2 of the blended mangoes. Repeat layers and top with diced fresh mango.
