It's been upper 80s and low 90s in Austin and nothing looks more refreshing that an ice cold margarita. As the weather gets hotter, I keep thinking what an awesome idea it'd be to have a Margarita Bar. A small group of friends, chips and salsa in the middle of your table and a bar with a variety of margaritas to cool you down. Sounds amazing, right? Well lets get started with the cocktails then...
Mango MargaritaIngredients
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 cups ice
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 orange, juiced
- 2 cups mango nectar
- Tequila (optional)
- Lime wedges, for garnish
Directions
Spread the salt out onto a small dish. Dip the rims of 4 margarita glasses in water and then dip them into the salt.
Into a blender, add the ice, lime juice, orange juice, mango nectar, and 4 shots of tequila, if desired. Blend until smooth. Pour into the prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge. | |
