This delicious, refreshing 3-ingredient mango margarita is the ultimate and easiest summer cocktail! Delicious and refreshing, it comes together in just 5 minutes. And, let’s be honest, there’s never a time when a margarita doesn’t sound like a good idea!

I just love cocktails with fresh fruits, be it a pomegranate mimosa, a cherry gin and tonic, or a pomegranate mojito. Cold and perfectly sweet, they’re like a tropical vacation! A good margarita is a happy mix of all three. 

That’s why I love this 3-ingredient mango margarita recipe. It mixes fresh, juicy mango flavor with some exquisite tequila and a hint of paprika-salt on the glass rim.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

✨The fruity, citrusy, and boozy drink needs only 3 ingredients! No fancy syrups, no hard-to-find liqueurs. Just simple stuff you probably already have at home.

✨The refreshing, subtly spiced, and seriously delicious cocktail is ready in 5 minutes, perfect for a lazy day.  

✨It’s easily customizable. You can make a mango margarita on the rocks or frozen, or even add fruits.

Mango Margarita Ingredients

Mango: I used mango juice to make this margarita. If you can get your hands on fresh mango juice, excellent; otherwise, use the regular packaged juice. Mango puree works too (fresh or canned).

Tequila: Pick the best quality tequila you can get. A well-made and aged tequila is smooth with agave flavors. Its taste is earthy, very mildly peppery with suggestions of citrus and tiny fruity notes. A good margarita is one that brings all these flavours into the drink.

Garnish: Chili salt on the rim elevates everything! Trust me on it. However, the paprika is optional if you don’t want a spicy mango margarita.

See the recipe card for full information about the ingredients and quantities.

Variations

Triple sec or Cointreau: Either or both are added in a classic margarita. So, please mix them in if you want.

Frozen mangoes: Use frozen mangoes in place of mango juice. Blend all the ingredients in a blender to make a frozen mango margarita!

Fruits: Don't want to use mangoes? Try pineapple, watermelon (do try watermelon iced tea next), peaches, or strawberries. Of course, it won’t be a mango margarita then, but it’ll still be a fantastic cocktail. 

Lemon: If you like a bit of tang to your cocktail, add freshly squeezed lemon juice. It balances the sweetness of the mango and brings that classic margarita zing.

How To Make Mango Margarita?

Step 1: Make a mixture of sea salt and paprika on a plate.

Step 2: Dip the rim of a glass in lemon juice. And then dip into the salt-chili mixture.

Step 3: In a shaker or glass (work with what you have at home), combine mango juice and tequila.

Step 4: Pour in the prepped glass. Top with ice.

Step 5: Garnish with a mint leaf and a wedge of lemon.

Final step: Serve and enjoy!

Pro Tips

  • The trick to a good mango margarita recipe is to use a good-quality tequila.  
  • Like sweeter drinks? Increase the amount of mango juice. Or add some simple syrup.
  • You can use packaged or fresh mango juice. Mango puree will also work well.
  • Have frozen mangoes? Make it a frozen mango margarita recipe by blending all the ingredients in your blender. It makes a delicious, thirst-quenching, and slushy margarita!

How To Serve

Any good cocktail is best served chilled. I love to serve the mango margarita on the rocks with a mint leaf and a lemon wedge. The clash of bright green, fresh yellow, and summery orange looks just so beautiful. The hint of red from the paprika rounds off the effect!

The 3-ingredient cocktail is perfect for lazy brunches – serve it with Mexican rice or loaded potato nachos! Or with tacos and smashed potatoes on a weekend barbecue. I love to pair it with chips dipped in creamy avocado dip or roasted red pepper sauce. 

Recipe FAQs

What's in a mango margarita cocktail?

Typically, a mango margarita has tequila, mango, lime juice, and ice. Triple sec or Cointreau is also added. This recipe doesn’t include them because I love this simple version so much!

How to rim a glass for margaritas?

Spread some salt on a plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip in margarita salt until coated. I used a combination of paprika and sea salt for this recipe.

What is the 321 rule for margaritas?

The 3-2-1 rule is a classic margarita ratio that keeps the flavors balanced. For every 3 parts of tequila, add 2 parts Triple Sec or Cointreau and 1 part lime juice.
