Ingredients
Scale
Cocktail Base:
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Frozen Fruits:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) frozen mango chunks
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) coconut water (or coconut milk for a creamier option)
Sweetener and Ice:
- 12 teaspoons agave syrup or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) crushed ice
Garnish:
- Lime slices
- Pineapple wedges
- Coarse salt (for rim, optional)
Instructions
- Moisten the glass rim by gliding a zesty lime segment along the edge, then delicately coat with coarse salt crystals, creating a tantalizing texture for your tropical libation.
- Gather all liquid and frozen components into a high-powered blender: vibrant tequila, citrusy triple sec, freshly squeezed lime juice, sun-ripened frozen pineapple chunks, golden frozen mango pieces, refreshing coconut water, and a generous handful of crushed ice.
- Activate the blender, transforming the tropical ingredients into a velvety, frosty concoction with a smooth, consistent texture that hints at paradise.
- Conduct a flavor expedition by sampling the mixture, introducing agave syrup or simple syrup if a sweeter profile is desired, then re-blend to harmonize the enhanced sweetness.
- Cascade the frosty margarita into the prepared salt-rimmed glass, allowing its swirling tropical hues to mesmerize.
- Elevate the visual and gustatory experience by adorning the drink with delicate lime slices and succulent pineapple wedges, creating an edible and decorative garnish that transports you to a beachside retreat.
Notes
- Customize salt rim by experimenting with flavored salts like chili or smoked salt for added complexity and depth of flavor.
- Replace coconut water with light coconut milk for a creamier, more indulgent texture that enhances tropical richness.
- Opt for fresh tropical fruits instead of frozen to create a more vibrant and authentic flavor profile when seasonal produce is available.
- Adjust alcohol content by reducing tequila or using a non-alcoholic alternative like sparkling water for a family-friendly mocktail version.
