Mango Margaritas For A Crowd Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and pit the mangoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the mango in a blender with the water, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more sugar, if necessary.
• Fill the blender with ice and add the Mango Margarita Mix, tequila, and triple sec. Blend until smooth. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge and dip into Mint Salt to coat rim. Fill glass and enjoy!
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup gray salt or coarse sea salt
• Clean and dry mint and roughly chop. With a mortar and pestle, crush equal parts fresh mint and salt.
• Yield: about 1 cup salt

Steps:

• Begin by zesting the limes. Pour the coarse sugar over the lime zest and toss with your fingers to combine. Set aside.
• Throw the mango chunks into a blender. Top off the blender with ice. Pour in the tequila and triple sec. Add the granulated sugar and squeeze in the juice of the limes. Blend until completely smooth, adding more ice if necessary to get the consistency you want. Use a piece of one of the limes to moisten the rims of the glasses. Dip the rims in the lime sugar. Pour the drinks and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Just before serving, in a half gallon pitcher combine the tequila, the minimum amount of Cointreau or Triple Sec and the lime juice. Taste and add more orange liqueur if you think your margaritas need more sweet oranginess to balance the other flavors. Remember, you're tasting it warm and undiluted; when chilled and diluted, the flavors will be mellower and the lime's tartness will be more attractive.
• Pour several tablespoons of lime juice onto a small plate and several tablespoons coarse salt onto another. Have martini glasses at hand (chill them for an extra special touch).
• As your guests ask for their margaritas, invert a glass into the plate with the lime juice to moisten rim, then lightly dip into the plate with the salt. For each drink measure 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the margarita mixture into a cocktail shaker. If you have a 2-ounce ladle that you can keep in the pitcher, measuring goes much faster. Add ice cubes (5 cubes for 1, 8 for 2, 10 for 3). Secure the lid and top and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain into the salt crusted glasses and hand off to the lucky recipients

Steps:

• 1. Mix together the mango juice, lime juice, Cointreau, tequila and ice in large cocktail shaker and shake for 30 seconds.
• 2. Pour into margarita glasses, garnish with each with a lime slice, and serve.

Steps:

• Put all of the ingredients (except the garnish) in a blender suitable for crushing ice. Blend until smooth then pour into a margarita glass or large coupe.
• Garnish with a slice of fresh mango or a sprig of fresh basil.

Steps:

• Combine ice, margarita mix, tequila, and mango nectar in a blender; squeeze 1 lime half into the blender. Blend until cocktail is smooth.
• Cut remaining lime half into wedges. Pour 1/4 to 1/2 inch of sugar onto a small, shallow plate. Moisten rims of 4 glasses with a wedge of lime, dip the moistened glasses into sugar. Pour cocktail into the prepared glasses.

Steps:

• Rim margarita, hurricane-style glass or cocktail glasses with sugar, if inclined.
• Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor if using fresh or frozen mango. Otherwise, pour into cocktail shaker and shake.
• Strain into glasses. Squeeze juice from 1 lime quarter into each drink and garnish glass with lime slice.
