Serving and Pairing Suggestions
When you’re serving your Mango Chili Margarita, there’s no shortage of delicious pairings! If you want to keep the Mexican vibe going, why not make some Vegan Tacos? Pair it with a side of Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower for that extra kick, or try it with Yogurt-Marinated Pork Kebabs for your meat-loving friends. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even create a colorful cocktail table with a tropical spread featuring a few of these dishes alongside your margaritas.
Also you may serve Lemon Lavender Vodka Soda as a colorful option.
Tips and Notes
- Mango Melody: Make sure you use ripe mango for the best sweetness. No fresh mango? Frozen mango works too, just blend it up!
- Chili Vibes: Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your spice tolerance. If you’re feeling it, add a few slices of fresh jalapeño to amp up the heat.
- Sugar Swap: For a healthier touch, substitute agave nectar or honey for traditional sugar in the rim.
- Batch It Up: Want to serve a crowd? Multiply the ingredients by the number of guests, mix in a pitcher, and let everyone enjoy!
- Storage: If you have a leftover margarita (which is rare), store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before serving!
