My notes

Tips

  • For an alcohol-free version, use the same amount of cold orange juice in place of the tequila and liqueur.
  • Like it hotter? Blend in up to ¼ tsp cayenne or a few slices of green chili. For no heat in the drink, leave the cayenne out and let the rim do the work.
  • Canned sweetened mango pulp works in place of the mango: use the same weight and half the sugar.

Why it works

Ripe mango brings natural sugar and fiber, so a little added sugar takes the base to about 14% sugar, and the pulp keeps the ice fine and the slush thick. The tequila and liqueur go in at the end, so the base still freezes firm.
