How to Make Mango Margarita

Make a simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add 10-12 fresh mint leaves. Steep until cool to room temperature (about 20 minutes).
Strain the simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, discarding the mint leaves.
Add 2 cups chopped ripe mangoes, ½ cup tequila, ¼ cup lime juice, and 1 cup ice to a blender.
Pour in ½ cup of the prepared mint simple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference).
Blend until completely smooth and frosty.
Pour into salt-rimmed glasses (optional) and garnish with a mango wedge and a mint sprig. Enjoy responsibly!
