Mangonadas: Spiced, Frozen Mango Margarita

Website: Sense & Edibility

These spiced, frozen mango margaritas are my favorite drink to order whenever we go to a Mexican restaurant. Also known as chamango and chamoyadas, they are a frozen mango smoothie swirled with chamoy (a pickled, spiced fruit paste) and sprinkled with Tajín (or salted chili powder). Topped with fresh, diced mangos, and sometimes laced with tequila, this is an essential summer drink.
