Fresh Strawberry Mango Margaritas

It’s T minus 9 days to Cinco de Mayo! Are you guys pumped or what?

I know I am. There are few things in life that make me happier than a plate of chips n’ guac paired with a tasty margarita.

Well I guess chips n’ guac with a margarita on a Mexican beach would be slightly better. Unfortunately for me the husband refuses to go to Mexico. Even when we lived in Texas and were just a short and very cheap flight from Cancun, he still wouldn’t go. He thinks it isn’t safe enough but um hello, people go there all of the time and come back just fine. Better than fine, actually. They come back refreshed, renewed, and feeling freakin’ fantastic.

So yeah, that’s a work in progress. But in the meantime I can enjoy Mexican food with these fresh strawberry mango margaritas so life is pretty darn good.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how exactly Jose Cuervo fits into the whole healthy theme I’ve got going on around here, allow me to explain:

1. Fresh strawberries are high in antioxidants and vitamin C.

2. Mangoes are high in vitamin C.

3. Lime juice is also high in vitamin C.

4. Tequila makes you feel good.

I rest my case.

The best part is that they look all fancy and pretty but they’re super easy to make. It’s literally like making a smoothie. But with liquor.

I made them with fresh fruit so that it’s more of a puree, almost like a thick juice, that you can serve over ice (aka “on the rocks”) but you could also make them frozen by substituting frozen fruit if you want. I personally prefer the fresh option because it prevents the whole brain freeze problem.

Not that I slam my margaritas or anything.  I always try my best to keep it classy. But man, it’s hard to do when they taste this good!

Ingredients
 

For the Mango Layer

  • 2 large red mangoes, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 4 ounces silver tequila
  • 4 ounces fresh lime juice, approx. 2-3 limes
  • 4 ounces orange liqueur, or triple sec

For the Strawberry Layer

  • 1 pint strawberries, hulls removed (approx. 16 ounces)
  • 2 ounces silver tequila
  • 4 ounces fresh lime juice, approx. 2-3 limes
  • 4 ounces orange liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • sugar or salt for rim
  • ice and fresh limes for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, combine the ingredients for the mango layer. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a large container, seal and refrigerate.
  • Rinse the blender out then add the ingredients for the strawberry layer. Blend until smooth. Transfer to another large container, seal, and refrigerate.
  • When ready to serve, salt the rim of the glasses by sprinkling salt (or sugar) on a plate. Lightly wet the rim of each glass with fresh lime juice then place the rim down onto the plate and gently turn until the rim is fully coated.
  • Fill each glass with a few ice cubes then fill each glass halfway with mango puree.
  • Hold a small spoon over each glass (with the bottom of the spoon facing up) then fill the rest of the glass with the strawberry puree. Using a spoon helps to keep the layers from mixing so it looks pretty.
  • Garnish with fresh lime, serve immediately and enjoy!
