(Margarita de Mango Congelado)
Category: Mixed Alcoholic Drinks and Cocktails
Smooth icy margaritas made with mangos, as well as other ripe, fresh fruit, are served in modern upscale restaurants and bars. I especially remember the one sampled at Jose Cuervo's beautiful distillery in Tequila, Mexico. If the mango is ripe and sweet the drinks will be great, so be sure to choose a perfect mango. You can also substitute 1 cup of another fresh fruit, such as hulled strawberries, or raspberries. An equal amount of frozen fruit can be substituted, if quality fresh fruits are not available. Serve before a festive warm-weather meal.
1 large ripe mango
1 cup cracked ice (see Note below)
3 tablespoons gold or silver tequila
2 tablespoons Simple Syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons flavored- orange liqueur ; such as Cointreau or Triple Sec
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1. To prepare the mango, with a sharp thin-bladed knife, cut each half of the mango away from the flat seed, cutting as close as possible to the seed. Lay 1/2 of the mango on a flat surface, skin side down, and cut cross-hatches on the fruit side (separating the flesh into cubes), without piercing through the skin. Bend the skin inside out and cut the pieces of fruit away from the peel. Repeat with the other half of the mango.
2. Put the mango and the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth. Taste for sweetness. Add more simple syrup, if needed. Divide the margaritas between 2 glasses and serve.
NOTE: To crack ice cubes, put them in a heavy plastic bag, remove air from the bag, seal it, then put the bag on a cutting board. With a hammer or heavy rolling pin, gently break cubes into chips.
