Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • Juice of 2 medium limes
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) cold water or sparkling water
  • 1 to 2 cups ice cubes (crushed preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons chamoy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (mild or medium heat)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • Optional garnishes: lime wedges, mango slices, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chamoy Rim: In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons chamoy sauce with 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Stir until combined.
  2. Wet the rim of each glass with a lime wedge, then dip into the chamoy mixture to coat evenly. Set glasses aside to let the rim set while you make the mocktail. (Tip: Refrigerate glasses for 10 minutes if rim feels too sticky.)
  3. Blend the Mango Base: In a blender, combine chopped mangoes, fresh lime juice, 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey, and 1 cup cold water or sparkling water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add more water if too thick.
  4. Add Ice and Blend Again: Add 1 to 2 cups ice cubes to the blender with the mango mixture. Pulse or blend on medium-high until ice is crushed and the mocktail is frosty and smooth. Avoid overblending.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mocktail and add more lime juice for tang or more sweetener if desired. Blend briefly after adjustments.
  6. Serve Immediately: Pour the mocktail into prepared glasses with the spicy chamoy rim. Garnish with a lime wedge or mango slice.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best flavor; frozen mango chunks can be used as a substitute. Adjust chili powder in the chamoy rim to control spiciness. Use sparkling water for a fizzy version. Prepare the chamoy rim just before serving to avoid sogginess. Leftover mocktail can be refrigerated up to 24 hours but is best enjoyed fresh.
