Alphonso Mango Chilli Margaritas

If I am being honest, I really don’t need a special reason to drink margaritas. It is my favorite cocktail and you will see me share a version almost every weekend on the ‘gram. I spend many days dreaming of  summers in India, when the most important task of the day was eating an Alphonso mango. There is a reason people are crazy about this particular kind, well IT. IS. THE. BEST. There is no debating this fact and if you’ve ever eaten one, you will agree with me. 

A few years ago they were hard to come by in America because of some agricultural laws that forbid the import of this fruit from heaven. But things have changed and I was told by a reader that we are in fact able to order them online. I guess I’ve been living under a rock! 

Anyway, I used the next best thing, Alphonso mango pulp. I live near an ethic grocery store and luckily they are well stocked so I was able to get my hands on a jar. We are in times of covid-19 so I am keep my ordering to essential items only and so should you. I suggest you use regular mangoes for now and order the pulp or fruit online when this is over? Until then I keep myself entertained and have a cocktail during at home happy hours with friends. On one these occasions I happened to combine two of my favorite things, made a margarita, and I am so glad I did  because it is damn delicious! 

Lastly, if this is not your jam try this Passion Fruit cocktail instead.
