MANGONADA NEAR ME RECIPES

Steps:

• Inside a clear glass/cup pour some chamoy sauce near the top and swirl it around to coat around the glass and down to the bottom. If you want you can add a little bit of the extra chopped mango to the bottom of the glass, I don't like to but feel free to.
• Next, place the mango pieces, ice cubes, water, and lime juice in a blender and blend until you have a slushy consistency. Pour some of this into the glass (on top of the chopped mango if using or just pour it all into the glass. If you'd like you can alternate layers of mango, slushy, chamoy then mango again and slushy and chamoy until you reach the top. I like to coat the glass with the chamoy, then just pour in the slushy into the glass then top with chopped mango, chamoy and sprinkle the Tajin over the top. This is all up to you! Serve with a reusable straw and enjoy!

Steps:

• Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
• Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
• To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.
