Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing summer cocktail combining sweet mango puree, tart grapefruit juice, and a spicy tajín salted rim for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila Blanco
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Fresh Mango Puree
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Fresh Grapefruit Juice
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1–2 tsp (5–10 ml) Simple Syrup (optional)
  • Tajín Seasoning (for rim)
  • Coarse Sea Salt (for rim)
  • 2–3 oz (60–90 ml) Sparkling Water or Club Soda
  • Ice Cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Puree: Peel and chop about 1 large ripe mango (around 1 cup chopped). Blend until smooth using a blender or food processor. Add a splash of water or fresh lime juice if a thinner consistency is desired. This takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Rim the Glass: Mix 1 tablespoon tajín seasoning with 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt in a shallow dish. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the tajín-salt mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
  3. Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz tequila blanco, 1/2 cup mango puree, 1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 1-2 teaspoons simple syrup if desired. Fill the shaker with ice, shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.
  4. Strain and Serve: Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, leaving room at the top for sparkling water.
  5. Top with Sparkling Water: Add 2-3 oz sparkling water or club soda to the glass. Gently stir once to combine without losing the fizz. Garnish with a lime wheel or thin mango slice if desired.

Notes

Use fresh citrus juice for best flavor. Apply the tajín rim just before serving to keep it crisp. Adjust simple syrup based on mango sweetness. Chill glass beforehand to keep cocktail colder longer. Pour mango puree slowly to avoid clogging strainer. Garnish with lime wheel or mango slice for aroma.
