Frozen mango makes it so creamy and dreamy, and the chili lime salt rim really enhances the spicy flavor. It’s truly one of my favorite summer drinks.

How to Make Spicy Mango Margarita Step by Step

How to Store
You can make frozen margaritas an hour or two ahead of time and keep in the fridge. But if you leave them for too long though, they will start to get thinner as the ice melts. You can freeze them and then just re-blend them to break it down when you are ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
A spicy mango margarita goes down so easily alongside the bold, zesty flavors of street corn nachos . Then there’s skillet chipotle shrimp : smoky, juicy, and packed with just enough heat to complement the mango’s sweetness. And if you’re in the mood for something a little lighter, a batch of Buffalo cauliflower wings delivers that classic spicy kick with a crunchy, satisfying bite. Together, it’s a fiery, flavor-packed lineup that keeps you reaching for another sip.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
