These frozen tropical margaritas with pineapple, passion fruit, and mango are the perfect refreshing cocktail for a hot summer day, a get together with friends, or as a Friday de-stress drink. I used pineapple, mango, passion fruit juice, lime juice, sugar (can also use honey or your choice of sweetener), tequila, orange liqueur, and ice.

I grew up surrounded with an abundance of tropical fruits, including passion fruit, mango and pineapple, in Ecuador. One of the things I miss the most from Ecuador is how easy and inexpensive it is to get a variety of wonderful fruits – and all fresh juices/smoothies that are available at local restaurants.
This margarita was also inspired by a tropical frozen drink I had on a trip to Kauai, Hawaii a few years ago. It was made with pineapple infused vodka blended with passion fruit and mango. The laid back atmosphere in Kauai reminded me a lot of Vilcabamba, the town where I grew up in Ecuador. The mountains, the landscape (except for the beach of course), the chickens roaming free all around the island, the delicious food, and tropical fruits brought back so many memories of Ecuador.

Laylita, you are not exaggerating about Vilcabamba. We were very tempted to buy a lot at hacienda San jacinto few years ago. Such a beautiful setting!
