A quick and refreshing mango margarita mocktail with a spicy Tajin salted rim, perfect for a flavorful, alcohol-free celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe mango or 1 cup (165g) mango puree
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) orange juice, freshly squeezed or store-bought
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) simple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) club soda or sparkling water
  • Tajin seasoning for rimming the glass
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt for rimming
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: lime wedges or thin mango slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tajin salted rim: Mix 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning with 1 tablespoon coarse salt on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your serving glass, then dip the rim into the mixture until well coated. Set aside.
  2. Puree the mango: Peel and chop the ripe mango into chunks. Place in a blender and add fresh lime juice, orange juice, and simple syrup if using. Blend until completely smooth. If too thick, add a splash of water or more orange juice.
  3. Mix the mocktail: Fill the Tajin-rimmed glass with ice cubes. Pour the mango mixture over the ice until about two-thirds full.
  4. Add fizz: Top off the glass with club soda or sparkling water. Gently stir with a spoon to combine without losing the bubbles.
  5. Garnish and serve: Add a lime wedge or thin slice of mango on the rim for decoration. Serve immediately for best flavor and fizz.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes like Ataulfo or Haden for best sweetness and texture. If mango is not sweet enough, add extra simple syrup. Chill all ingredients and ice for a crisp mocktail. Stir gently after adding club soda to preserve fizz. Prepare mango puree up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate. Rim glasses just before serving to keep texture. For extra spice, add jalapeño slices or muddle jalapeño in the glass.
