dinnerFrozen Mango Margarita
I rimmed mine with some hot honey and tajin - but you can also use lime juice and sugar or salt! This is basically an alcoholic smoothie but trust me it’s delish :)

Open in Pepper →Fresh Lime And Real Fruit In Every Glass
A good margarita comes down to three things you can taste: tequila, fresh lime, and fruit that actually tastes like fruit. Once you've squeezed your own limes and blended real mango or peaches, the bottled mixes go in the trash and stay there.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on Friday nights, backyard cookouts, and any evening when dinner was fine but the day was long. They're also the ones people pull up when friends come over and everybody wants something a little different.
Every recipe here is a margarita worth making twice: Frozen Mango Margarita, Pomegranate Margarita, a straight-up Lime Margarita, Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita, Frozen Peach Margarita, Guava + Lime Margarita, Pineapple Margarita, Pineapple, Coconut & Mint, and a Spicy Blackberry Margarita.
Quick Tips
- 1
Squeeze the limes fresh
Bottled juice tastes flat and a little metallic. One medium lime gives about 1 ounce of juice, so plan two limes per drink batch.
- 2
Chill the glasses first
Set your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before you pour. A cold glass keeps a frozen margarita from turning to soup.
- 3
Freeze the fruit yourself
Spread mango, peach, or strawberry chunks on a sheet pan and freeze 2 hours. Frozen fruit blends thick without watering things down with extra ice.
- 4
Infuse jalapeno for heat
Drop 3 or 4 jalapeno slices into your tequila and let it sit 10 to 15 minutes, then strain. Leave the seeds in if you want it hot.
