Receta en Español

This tropical margarita recipe comes from my brother Ramon – who prepares mouthwatering food and drinks (and will hopefully open a restaurant soon). I took advantage of the perfect weather we had over the weekend, and the fact that is was Cinco de Mayo – otherwise known as American holiday for drinking margaritas, to prepare these amazing mango passion fruit margaritas.

For a non-alcoholic version of this tropical cocktail, try this mango passion fruit batido or smoothie recipe, it has almost the same ingredients as this margarita, minus the alcohol.

To make this mango passion fruit margarita you will need two key tropical fruits: mangoes and passion fruit. Luckily, mangoes are very easy to find in most US supermarkets. Fresh passion fruits tend to be more difficult to find and quite pricey if you do find them fresh. If using fresh passion fruits, you will need about 8 of the large yellow ones from Ecuador for about 1 ½ cups of pure juice – just blend the fresh pulp (by itself or with just a dash of water) and then strain to remove the seeds. If using the small purple ones, grown in the US or imported, then you will likely need at least double the amount.

An easier alternative is to use frozen passion fruit concentrate, which is available is most Latin – and Asian – grocery stores. It usually comes in 14 ounce packs – which converts to about 1 ¾ cups. If you can’t find the frozen concentrate or fresh fruit, you can use store bought passion fruit juice, it will likely already be sweetened so keep that in mind before adding additional sugar or honey.
