  • 1/4 cup sugar

COARSE KOSHER SALT

  1. In a small saucepan, stir together the 1/2 cup pineapple juice and the sugar.

  2. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely. (You can cool this down fast by placing it over an ice bath.)

  3. In a blender, puree the cubed mango, remaining 2/3 cup pineapple juice, and the lime juice. (You should have approximately 1 2/3 cups).

     

  4. Pour a thin layer of salt on a small plate or saucer. Rub the rims of 4 (10-ounce) cocktail glasses with one of the lime slices and dip the rims of the glasses in the salt to coat.

  5. Fill the glasses half full of ice. Set aside. Then fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice. Add half the puree mixture and half the pineapple syrup, then the tequila. 

  6. Shake until well chilled and then strain into 2 of the glasses.

  7. Add a slice of lime to each of the 2 glasses. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and serve.

Tips for success: 

  • For an easy variation, muddle 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro in the bottom of each cup before adding ice and the shaken margarita. Use a cocktail stirrer to stir the ingredients together.
  • For a less sweet margarita, use less of the pineapple syrup.
  • Make sure that the mango is very ripe and fragrant for the best results.
