Ingredients
1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
1 blood orange, peeled and segmented
4 oz 100% agave silver tequila
½ cup ice cubes
1½ cups soda water, chilled
½ oz orange liqueur (Grand Marnier or Cointreau), optional
Sea salt for rimming glasses, optional
Directions
Prepare glasses by moistening the rim with a damp cloth if desired, then dip into sea salt to coat evenly. Set aside.
Add the chopped mango, peeled blood orange segments, silver tequila, and ice to a blender.
Blend on high speed for 45 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency with no large chunks remaining.
Divide the blended mixture evenly between the two prepared glasses.
Top each glass with chilled soda water, adding about ¾ cup per glass and stirring gently to combine.
Float ¼ oz of orange liqueur on the surface of each drink if using, or serve as is.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy while cold and effervescent.
Comments
Blood oranges and fresh mango are both available year-round at Charlotte's major chains, though blood orange season (December through April) offers better flavor and price; you can make this entirely at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Walmart without a special trip. At roughly $3 to $4 per serving depending on tequila quality and whether you already stock the base spirits, this is a straightforward, affordable cocktail that respects its stated 10 minutes. The only real watch: blood oranges can be inconsistent outside their peak season, so check ripeness at the store. This is a same-night pour with no leftovers, which fits a weeknight date night or a casual gather, and the formula scales easily if you're making four instead of two.
