Spicy Mango Margarita

The Spicy Mango Margarita is a classic Margarita with a twist. You can make this cocktail with fresh mango. In that case you use a blender to make it. For this cocktail I used mango lemonade by Mucho Mango by the brand Arizona. Instead of blending, I shaked the cocktail. Do you want to make a Frozen Mango Margarita? Then freeze your mango a day in advance or add a glass full of crushed ice to your blender. This way your cocktail will have a slushy effect.

Food pairing tip: This Spicy Margarita tastes great when combined with Ceviche Taco’s

Spice it up with a rim of cayenne pepper

The flavours of this Mango Margarita go very well with the taste of cayenne or cayun. Cayun is a little less spicy. To rim your Margarita glass you need to rub the inside of a lime over the rim of your glass. Then sprinkle cayenne pepper on a plate or cutting board and dip your rim in the powder.

Mexican food pairing tip: Ceviche Taco’s

When you think about a Mexican Margarita, your mind automatically goes to nacho’s. And yes, nacho’s are always a good combination with margarita’s. But what’s really good are Ceviche Taco’s! Ceviche is a Peruvian fish dish based on raw fish. We made it with tuna. Not a fan of raw fish? You can also use baked shrimps or salmon.

PREPARATION Ceviche Taco’s (recipe for 5 taco’s)

• Cut 150 gr raw tuna (sashimi) into small chunks and marinade them in 2 tbl spoons soy sauce and the juice from half a lime. Add ginger slices to taste. Mix together and then let marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• Cut half a mango, 12 small tomatoes, 1 red onion, a quarter of a cucumber and 1 red pepper into small cubes and add to the marinaded tuna.
• Mix the ingredients together and then divide over the taco shells. Shortly warm the taco’s in the oven before adding the tuna mixture.
• Serve with wasabi mayonnaise on a nice platter and also serve the Spicy Margarita’s.
