Note
- Nectar vs. juice—Mango nectar and mango juice may be used interchangeably in this recipe, but mango nectar is easier to find in the grocery store (and less expensive, too). I also like that you can buy it in individual cans for less waste.
- Batch cocktail recipe—Want to make more than one margarita? Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed.
- Make-Ahead Instructions—Make a pitcher of these mango margaritas ahead of time (without ice) and store in the refrigerator until guests arrive. Don't forget to give the pitcher a good stir before serving.
- Make a virgin margarita— omit the tequila and orange liqueur, slightly increase mango nectar, and add a bit of lime- or mango-flavored seltzer water (or even plain club soda) to the remaining ingredients.
