Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup frozen mango
- 12 ounce pineapple juice
- 1 lime divided (about a tbsp)
- ¼ cup chamoy sauce divided
- 2 teaspoon Tajin chili lime divided
Instructions
- To a blender, add frozen mango and pineapple juice. Run on high until smooth, it will be thick and spoonable but ensure there are no chunks.
- In the bottom of each glass, squeeze half a lime (about ½ tbsp), then add 1 tablespoon chamoy sauce and 1 teaspoon tajin. Stir to blend well.
- Fill each glass about halfway with frozen mango mixture, then a layer of chamoy sauce (another tablespoon), then the remaining mango mixture.
Notes
- Shaken/Stirred: This is a layered beverage, the layers of chamoy in the middle and on top creates the traditional sweet-spicy flavor bursts throughout.
- Glass: Serve in a tall glass so you can prominently see the layers.
- Garnishes: Traditionally, it is served with a tamarind candy straw, but a simple Tajin rimmed glass is classic, or add a little freshness with lime wedges or round and sprig of mint.
- Seasoning Balance: Start with less Tajín and adjust depending on how spicy you like your drinks.
- Cold Ingredients: Using frozen mango instead of ice keeps the flavor concentrated and prevents dilution.
- Best Texture: Blend until completely smooth so the frozen mango mixture has a creamy slushy consistency.
