Chamoy Margarita Recipe (Viral TikTok Version)
A frozen mango chamoy margarita with a Tajín-chamoy double rim and a chamoy swirl inside the glass. Sweet, sour, salty, and spicy in every sip.
Ingredients
For the drink
- 1.5 to 2 oz blanco tequila
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 0.75 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
- 0.75 oz Cointreau (or Grand Marnier)
- 0.5 cup ice
- 0.5 oz agave nectar (optional, to taste)
- Pinch of salt
For the glass
- 1 lime wedge (for moistening the rim)
- 2 to 3 tbsp chamoy sauce, divided
- 2 to 3 tbsp Tajín Clásico seasoning
For garnish (optional)
- Fresh mango slice
- Lime wheel
- Chamoy gummy candy
Instructions
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into chamoy sauce on a small plate, then immediately dip into Tajín on a second plate. Set the glass aside.
- Pour 1 oz of chamoy into the inside of the rimmed glass and slowly rotate to coat the interior walls. Set aside.
- Add the frozen mango, tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, ice, and agave (if using) to a blender. Blend until smooth and slushy. Taste and adjust: add more lime if too sweet, or a pinch of salt if it tastes flat.
- Pour the blended mixture into your prepared glass. Garnish with a mango slice, lime wheel, or chamoy candy if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tequila: Blanco is best. Reposado works for a smokier flavor. Avoid añejo.
Chamoy: Quality matters here. Use a chamoy made with real fruit for the best depth of flavor.
Too sweet? Skip the agave and increase lime juice to 1 oz. A pinch of salt in the blender also balances sweetness.
Mocktail version: Replace tequila with 1 oz mango nectar and replace Cointreau with 0.5 oz fresh orange juice.
Pitcher version (8 servings): 2 cups tequila blanco, 1 cup Cointreau, 1 cup fresh lime juice, 2 cups mango nectar, poured over ice. Let guests swirl chamoy into their own rimmed glasses.
Storage: Best served immediately. The slush separates quickly if left to sit.
