Spicy Mango Margarita on the Rocks
This Spicy Mango Margarita on the Rocks brings together fresh mango, lime juice, and sliced jalapeño for a cocktail that balances sweetness with a gentle heat. The rimmed glass, coated with a mixture of kosher salt and chili powder or tajin, adds a savory spice contrast to the bright fruity flavors. Using tequila and mango juice creates a refreshing base, shaken with ice for a chilled drink served over fresh ice cubes. The garnish of jalapeño or mango adds an extra visual and flavor touch.
