Lucifer Mango Habanero Margarita
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: No Cooking
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- Blanco Tequila – 4 oz
- Fresh Lime Juice – 2 oz
- Orange Liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau) – 1 oz
- Mango Nectar or Purée – 2 oz
- My Sauce Lab Lucifer – 1 tsp
- Agave Syrup – 1/2 oz (optional)
- Tajin or Chili Salt – for the rim
- Lime Wedges and Mango Slices – for garnish
- Ice – as needed
Directions
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of two glasses and dip in Tajin or chili salt.
- Add the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, mango nectar, Lucifer sauce, and agave to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard for 15 seconds — you want the sauce fully emulsified, not floating in streaks.
- Strain over fresh ice into the prepared glasses.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a slice of mango. The habanero heat builds slowly behind the mango, so it finishes warm rather than sharp.
Non-alcoholic version: swap the tequila and liqueur for sparkling water and an extra ounce of mango nectar.
