Mango Chilli Margarita

Description

Mango gives this tequila sour a rounded tropical opening, then lemon and chilli come through in turn. The lemon is especially noticeable in a drink that takes its cue from a Margarita. Pick it if you like tequila with ripe fruit and want the heat to linger after the sour edge has passed.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Tequila
  • 20 ml Mango Syrup
  • 25 ml lemon
  • 10 ml Chilli Syrup
  • Ice

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Used to chill, dilute and integrate the cocktail before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for a polished double-strain when citrus, fruit or herbs are shaken.

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds until the drink is properly chilled.
  3. Fine strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice or served straight up.
  4. Garnish to echo the main flavour and serve immediately.
