Creamy coconut milk and fresh mango along with mango nectar are what makes this margarita, cool, thick, and something special.
Mango margaritas aren’t the norm where I come from in Hawaii. Really just juices and smoothies loaded with my mom’s lilikoi from her tree. There is nothing like a mango from Hawaii. Sweet and perfectly ripe and permeating with tropical aroma.
Celebrate the rest of summer with this cool margarita, that is also great with rum, or even as a virgin drink without the tequila. Think of it like a lassi!
