What is a Virgin Mango Margarita?

A virgin mango margarita is a non-alcoholic version of a classic margarita, which is a cocktail typically made with tequila, lime juice, and an orange liqueur. Our virgin version focuses on the core flavors that make the drink so popular: the bright citrus of lime, the sweetness of fruit, and a hint of salt on the rim. By using a base of fresh or frozen mango puree, this drink delivers a thick, slushie-like consistency and a vibrant tropical flavor that feels like a party in a glass. and If you are a fan of Virgin drinks, we suggest you try the Blackberry Virgin Mojito.

Ingredients for Your Virgin Mango Margarita

• 1 cup frozen mango chunks
• 1/2 cup water or orange juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp agave or simple syrup (optional)
• Ice cubes (if using fresh mango)
• For the rim: 1 tbsp coarse salt and 1 lime wedge
• Garnish: A lime wedge and fresh mango slice

How to Prepare Your Virgin Mango Margarita

1. Prepare the Glass: Rub the lime wedge around the rim of your serving glass. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and dip the rim of the glass into the salt to create a salted rim. Set the glass aside.
2. Blend the Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen mango chunks, water or orange juice, fresh lime juice, and optional agave or simple syrup.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and has a slushie-like consistency. If using fresh mango, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender to make it frosty.
4. Pour and Serve: Pour the virgin margarita mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and a slice of mango on the rim, and serve immediately.

Tips for a Perfect Margarita

• Use Frozen Mango: Using frozen mango is the key to a thick, slushie-like texture without needing a lot of ice, which can water down the flavor.
• Adjust Sweetness: The sweetness will depend on the ripeness of your mango. Taste the mixture before serving and add more agave if needed.
• Customize It: For a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili powder to the salt on the rim. For a different flavor, you can try using pineapple chunks or a mix of tropical fruits.

Conclusion

This virgin mango margarita is a delightful and refreshing drink that is perfect for celebrating any occasion. Its vibrant color and perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and salty flavors make it a delicious and family-friendly alternative to a classic cocktail.
