A tropical, creamy, and refreshing virgin margarita made with mango puree, coconut milk, and fresh lime juice, finished with a spicy lime salt rim—perfect for summer refreshment without alcohol.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh mango puree (from about 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and blended)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water dissolved; agave nectar or maple syrup as alternatives)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) coarse sea salt or kosher salt (for rimming)
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) chili powder (mixed with salt for spicy lime salt rim)
  • Lime wedges (for rimming and garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Puree (5 minutes): Peel and chop 2 ripe mangoes into chunks. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water or coconut milk if needed for a thick but pourable consistency.
  2. Mix the Margarita Base (3 minutes): In a shaker or large glass, combine 1 cup mango puree, 3/4 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon simple syrup. Stir or shake gently to combine. Adjust sweetness or lime to taste.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Lime Salt Rim (2 minutes): Mix 1 tablespoon coarse salt with 1 teaspoon chili powder on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rim into the salt mixture to coat evenly.
  4. Assemble the Drink (2 minutes): Fill rimmed glasses with about 1 cup ice cubes each. Pour the mango coconut mixture over the ice, filling glasses about 3/4 full.
  5. Garnish and Serve (1 minute): Add a lime wedge on the rim or a thin slice of mango on top. Serve immediately for best flavor and chill.

Notes

If the mixture is too thick, add more coconut milk or a splash of sparkling water for fizz. Rim glasses just before serving to prevent salt from dissolving. For batch preparation, keep rimmed glasses and garnishes separate until serving. Freeze lime slices in ice cubes for a subtle lime burst. Adjust chili powder in the rim to control spiciness or omit for kids.
