Print Recipe

A refreshing and vibrant cocktail combining fresh mango puree, grapefruit juice, tequila, and a spicy Tajín-salted rim for a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and spicy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh mango, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup fresh grapefruit juice (about 1 large grapefruit)
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco (100% agave)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup
  • 4 ounces club soda or sparkling water
  • 1 tablespoon Tajín seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Lime wedges for garnish and wetting the glass rim

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and chopped mango pieces in a blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and thick. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to achieve a silky texture.
  2. Cut grapefruit in half and juice it, straining out seeds. Repeat with lime. Measure ½ cup grapefruit juice and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  3. In a cocktail shaker or large glass, combine 2 ounces tequila blanco, ½ cup grapefruit juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon simple syrup, and ¼ cup mango puree. Stir or shake gently to combine. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. On a small plate, mix 1 tablespoon Tajín seasoning with 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into the Tajín-salt mixture, twisting slightly to coat evenly.
  5. Fill the rimmed glass with ice cubes. Pour the cocktail base over the ice, filling the glass about ¾ full.
  6. Top off the drink with 4 ounces club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently once to combine without losing bubbles.
  7. Garnish with a lime wedge or a thin slice of fresh mango on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh mango and citrus juice for best flavor. Adjust simple syrup based on mango sweetness. Rim glasses just before serving to keep the seasoning fresh and crunchy. Stir gently after adding club soda to preserve fizz. Leftover cocktail base (without club soda) can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
