How to Drink Our Mango Margarita

Apparently, when our distillers listen to Club Tropicana a few too many times, a good margarita ends up with a tropical makeover. Our Mango Margarita takes Mexican agave, introduces it to juicy mango and lets the two get acquainted. Turns out they get along famously.

You get sweet, sunny mango up front, earthy, peppery agave keeping things grounded in margarita territory, and a soft citrus lift to finish. Best of all, it's already mixed. No juicing, no measuring, no hunting for the cocktail shaker you lent your flatmate three summers ago. Pour it over ice and you're sorted.

If you fancy dressing it up a bit, here are three ways we like it.

What You'll Need

  • Good George Mango Margarita - ready to pour, 13.5% ABV.
  • Ice - and plenty of it. A glass packed with ice stays colder for longer.
  • Limes - for squeezing, garnishing and rimming glasses.
  • Soda water - for a longer, lighter spritz.
  • Chilli salt and frozen mango chunks - for the two show-offs below.

1. Mango Margarita Spritz

Long, light and made for the beach. This is the one to pour when the afternoon's warm and nobody's in a hurry to go anywhere.

Ingredients

  • 90ml Mango Margarita
  • 60ml soda water, chilled
  • Ice
  • Lime wheel and a sprig of mint, to garnish

Method

  1. Fill a tall highball glass with ice.
  2. Pour in the Mango Margarita and top with soda water.
  3. Stir gently, then garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of mint.

2. Chilli-Salt Mango Margarita on the Rocks

Sweet mango, a salty rim and a little kick of heat. It's the margarita equivalent of a mate who's great company but keeps you on your toes.

Ingredients

  • 120ml Mango Margarita
  • Chilli salt, for the rim
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Ice

Method

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it in chilli salt.
  2. Fill the glass with ice and pour in the Mango Margarita.
  3. Give it a squeeze of fresh lime and garnish with a lime wedge.

No chilli salt in the pantry? Mix flaky sea salt with a pinch of chilli flakes and a little lime zest. Done.

3. Frozen Mango Margarita

Slushy, icy and ridiculously good on a scorcher. If you've got a blender and a bag of frozen mango, you're thirty seconds away.

Ingredients

  • 120ml Mango Margarita
  • 1 cup of ice
  • ½ cup of frozen mango chunks
  • Lime wheel and a mango slice, to garnish

Method

  1. Blend the Mango Margarita, ice and frozen mango until slushy.
  2. Pour into a chilled coupette.
  3. Garnish with a lime wheel and a slice of mango.

Serving Suggestions

  • Keep the bottle in the fridge so it's ready to go straight over ice.
  • Pair it with fish tacos, grilled corn or spicy prawns off the barbie.
  • Hosting? Pop out a jug of soda, a bowl of lime wheels and some mint, and let everyone build their own spritz.
  • Line up something non-alcoholic alongside it and plenty of water, so the sun's not the only thing doing the hard work.
