Reviews
I thought this was very tasty, love mango. It covered up the tequila very nicely I thought.
IF YOU WANT A GOOD NON- ALCOHOLIC VERSION , TRY USING MANGO JUICE MIXES FROM MINUTE MAID INSTEAD. I TRIED AND IT WAS GREAT, AND STILL HAD LOTS OF FLAVOR.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also added a papaya to this recipe with a delicious result. The color was beautiful and the taste….yum!
An employee gave me a case of mangos, I enjoy a good drink, and now I’ve matched those up! I prepared batch after batch, measured it out into freezer baggies and now have a well stocked freezer! I increased the tequila to 6 ounces and used 3 ounces of cointreau. Smooth, fresh and delicious. Excellent Michael!
tasty
My friends who loved mangoes raved about this drink. One batch went really fast.
This reccipe is great. I prepaared the mango mix a few hours ahead and just kept it chilled until it was time to make the drinks. Also, I used 1/2 cup Splenda instead of sugar – it still tasted wonderful.
Always eager to try another use for mangoes, I tried this drink. It was simple to put together and the real mango makes all the difference. It’s on the sweet side, but a little more lime juice can help that. I loved the mint salt but will use more mint next time, as the salt is so powerful. This would work well with vodka, rum or as a non-alcoholic drink. Great outside by the pool.
Absolutely delicious and very refreshing, especially here in the Desert of Southern California!
Is there any possible way to do this without the alchohol? I’m desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This sounds absolutely delicious and I’m having a cinco de mayo party I’ve been planning for months but I’m only 19 and can’t drink yet. Please help!!!
