Fun fact: almost half<\/em> of all drinks ordered on Cinco de Mayo\u00a0are margaritas. May 5 also happens to be around the start of peak mango<\/a> season, so it’s time to put the tropical fruit in everything. Take advantage of both occasions by pouring yourself and an amigo a batch of these frosty mango margaritas with a surprise spicy kick.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A perfectly ripe mango will bring all the sweetness you need to this drink, so we recommend a flavorful variety like the Champagne mangos<\/a> from Ciruli Brothers. These fruits are a special breed of the yellow Ataulfo mango, a variety first cultivated in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. They have a smooth, fiberless texture and concentrated, honey-like taste, which is perfect for balancing out the tangy lime juice and floral-nosed tequila in the cocktail.\u00a0<\/p>

To double down on the mango in this recipe, we’ve also added a splash of De La Calle chili mango tepache<\/a>, a bubbly probiotic drink made from fermented pineapple. It not only rounds out the sweetness and the spice, but also gives the margarita that wonderful slushy consistency.\u00a0<\/p>

Lastly, you could opt for the classic salt rim here, but swapping it out for Taj\u00edn<\/a>, the fiery-tart spice blend, really takes things up a notch. It has the sort of zing that grabs your attention and gets you fired up for a Cinco de Mayo full of tacos, guacamole, and fiesta-ing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
