A quick and easy frozen mango pineapple margarita with a spicy chili salt rim, perfect for summer parties and busy evenings. This tropical cocktail blends sweet mango and tart pineapple with tequila for a smooth, refreshing sip with a kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks (about 225 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups frozen pineapple chunks (about 225 grams)
  • ½ cup tequila blanco (120 ml)
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (60 ml) – optional
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup (30 ml)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (about 120 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (smoky chipotle or ancho)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • Optional garnish: fresh pineapple wedges, lime slices, or a sprig of mint

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chili salt rim: Mix 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt and 1 teaspoon chili powder in a small shallow dish. Rub the rim of your glass with a lime wedge or a little water, then dip the rim into the chili salt mixture, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set aside to dry slightly.
  2. Add 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks and 1 ½ cups frozen pineapple chunks to your blender. Pulse a few times to break down the fruit.
  3. Pour in ½ cup tequila blanco, ¼ cup fresh lime juice if using, and 2 tablespoons agave syrup. Add 1 cup ice cubes.
  4. Blend on low speed, increasing to high, until the mixture is creamy and slushy, about 1 minute. Adjust consistency by adding water or lime juice if too thick, or more ice or frozen fruit if too thin.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
  6. Pour the margarita into the chili salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge or lime slice.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for a creamy, slushy texture. Wet the glass rim with lime juice or water before dipping in chili salt to help it stick. Adjust sweetness carefully as mango and pineapple are naturally sweet. Chill glasses before serving to keep the drink icy longer. Re-blend if the margarita separates after sitting. For a dairy-free twist, substitute agave with maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener like stevia. Fresh fruit can be used but add more ice to maintain texture.
