“Mango Margarita”

It’s a beautiful sunny day and feeling like Summer has arrived. Fresh fruit is in abundance right now. I recently purchased fresh mangoes and they are delicious. I have eaten at one least one every day for the last few days sprinkled with Chile lime salt. So refreshing… I needed to use up the last two I had and the first thing that came to mind was my Mango Margarita. How perfect on a day like today and especially since I love margaritas. Combine fresh mango, tequila, triple sec, sweetened lime juice with ice. Serve these Mango Margaritas in chilled margarita glasses rimmed with Turbinado sugar. So cooling on a hot summer day. Give one a try this weekend…heaven in a glass.
