Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing mango habanero margarita mocktail with a spicy Tajin rim, balancing sweet mango, sharp citrus, and a slow-building habanero kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 small habanero pepper, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
  • 1 cup cold water or sparkling water
  • Tajin seasoning for rimming the glass
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup)
  • Pinch of salt (mixed with Tajin for rimming)
  • Optional: small sprig of fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon non-alcoholic triple sec or orange extract

Instructions

  1. Pour Tajin seasoning mixed with a pinch of salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rims into the Tajin mixture to coat evenly. Set aside to dry.
  2. In a blender, combine peeled and chopped mango, finely chopped habanero, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust heat or sweetness by adding more mango, cold water, or agave/honey as needed.
  4. Add 1 cup cold water or sparkling water to the blender and pulse a few times to combine.
  5. Fill prepared glasses halfway with ice cubes.
  6. Pour the mango habanero mixture over the ice in each glass and gently stir to combine flavors.
  7. Garnish with a small sprig of fresh cilantro or a thin slice of lime if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Start with a small amount of habanero to control heat. Fresh lime juice and ripe mangoes are key for best flavor. Chill glasses before rimming for extra refreshment. Prepare the mango habanero base up to 24 hours ahead and add sparkling water and ice just before serving to keep fizz fresh.
