  1. Pour a small amount of Chamoy onto a small plate (to wet the rim of the glass). On a separate small plate, put some of the chili lime seasoning. 
Dip the rim of the glass in Chamoy, then dip the rim into the chili lime seasoning (Tajin)
  2. Place the frozen mango, mango nectar (or coconut water), lime juice and ice into a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and add sugar, if needed. Blend for a few seconds to combine. The mixture should have the consistency of soft sorbet or a slushy. Add additional mango nectar (or coconut water), if needed.

Pour or scoop some of the mango smoothie mixture into the prepared glass, then layer the smoothie with the chamoy sauce (about 1-2 tablespoons per layer), working your way up the glass and finishing with the chamoy sauce.
