Mango Margarita

With summer around the corner and the AC's cranking up at our homes, margaritas are one of those drinks that I always reach out for. Summers, also being the season of mangos, gives me an additional joy to use this as an ingredient in almost anything I cook. I pureed these ripe mangos with some monkfruit sugar to give an extra kick of sweetness to it. You can make this drink in large batches and store the concentrate for almost a week. The recipe makes one big glass of margarita for you to cool off in the summer heat.

• 2 Oz Tequila
