Recreate Pérez’s Mango Margarita recipe at home
Serves one
5 x 2.5cm cubes of mango, plus a spear for garnish
60ml Patrón Silver Tequila
22.5ml fresh lime juice
22.5ml 1:1 agave syrup*
Pinch Himalayan pink salt (or kosher salt – no iodised table salt)
Mint sprig and mango slice for garnish
- Slice one half of a mango and remove the skin.
- Add the mango cubes, tequila, lime juice, agave syrup and salt to a shaker, and muddle together to crush the fruit.
- Add the ice and close the shaker. Shake hard for 5-7 seconds.
- Fill a rocks glass with ice. Using the micro-tea strainer to catch the fruit pieces, and a hawthorn strainer (to hold the ice back), strain the cocktail into the glass.
- Take the mint sprig and gently tap against your wrist to release the oils. Add the mint sprig, stem side down, into the glass.
- Slice a lengthwise piece of the mango, like a spear, and add to the same place as the mint. Serve.
Smart Tip
To make 1:1 Agave Syrup, add 300ml boiling water and 300ml organic agave syrup to a food-safe container and stir until dissolved. Once cool, add to a bottle, and close the cap. Add a date and name label, store in the fridge until use (you can use this right away). The syrup will yield 500ml and keep for 7-10 days refrigerated
