A refreshing and fun popsicle recipe combining sweet mango, tangy lime, authentic margarita flavors, and a playful chili kick for a perfect summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups or 300 grams)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) tequila blanco
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (ancho chili powder recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 2 large ripe mangoes into chunks (about 2 cups or 300 grams).
  2. Place mango chunks into a blender. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice, 1/3 cup (80 ml) tequila blanco, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) triple sec, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or agave syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder and a pinch of salt. Pulse in the blender or mix well by hand. Taste and adjust chili powder if needed.
  4. Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water to thin the mixture. Blend or whisk again until smooth and pourable.
  5. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top. Insert sticks and cover.
  6. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture.
  7. To unmold, briefly dip molds in warm water for 10-15 seconds, then gently pull out the popsicles and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and texture. Adjust chili powder to taste, starting mild. For non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and triple sec with extra lime juice and orange juice or sparkling water. Freeze popsicles fully overnight for best texture. To unmold easily, dip molds briefly in warm water. Optional: sprinkle chili powder on popsicles after unmolding or roll mold rims in coarse salt before freezing for margarita effect.
