INGREDIENTS

  • 0 1/2 cup fresh mango, pieces USDA
  • 0 1/4 cup lemon juice, 100%, fresh squeezed FNDDS
  • 0 1/4 cup lime juice, 100%, fresh squeezed FNDDS
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, coarse Morton
  • 0 1/8 tsp chili powder, 036800328198, organic Red Monkey
  • 4 fl oz tequila FNDDS
  • 3 fl oz mezcal
  • 12 fl oz mango flavored unsweetened sparkling water
  • 2 1/2 gram(s) edible fresh flowers

DIRECTIONS

Ingredient note: we recommend using silver tequila for this recipe.


  1. In a blender, puree mango on high until smooth.
  2. Juice lemon and lime, then use spent citrus to wet the rim of 4 cocktail glasses (at least 10 fl oz capacity). Combine salt and chili powder on a plate and dip the wet glass rims in the combination to coat.
  3. To make each cocktail, combine a rounded tablespoon pureed mango (about 20 g), 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and lime juice, 1 fluid ounce tequila, and ¾ fluid ounce mezcal in each rimmed glass, stirring to mix. Top with ice and 3 ounces unsweetened mango flavored sparkling water, garnish with edible flowers if desired and serve. One cocktail as described is one serving.

Cooking Tip

The flavor of this cocktail depends heavily on using ripe mango. If your mango is not quite ripe, it will be more resistant to being pureed, and may need a few drops liquid stevia or monkfruit for sweetness. There are a variety of options for modifying this cocktail to make it your own. Consider trying different flavors of unsweetened sparkling water, use a larger glass and a heavier pour for the mezcal, or more ice and more sparkling water for even softer smoky mezcal flavor. However you adapt this recipe it is sure to feel like a cool breeze when sipping it!
