Cocktail

Method

Prepare Mango Purée (optional)

1

Make purée

Place chopped ripe mango in a blender or food processor. Add 1 tablespoon warm water if needed to help the blender. Purée until completely smooth, about 20–30 seconds. Measure 2 oz (approximately 1/4 cup) for the cocktail and refrigerate any extra.

Rim & Build

2

Prep glass

If you want a salted/tajín rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks glass or coupe, then dip the rim into coarse salt or tajín. Set the glass aside.

3

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Herradura Reposado tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 2 oz fresh mango purée, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).

4

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and diluted.

5

Strain & Serve

Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared chilled glass over fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or straight into the glass without ice for a coupe presentation.

6

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin mango slice on the rim. Serve immediately.
