Drunken Tequila Mangoes Perfect For Mango Season

Mango chunks will quickly become a party mainstay after being steeped in a solution of lime juice and tequila and then dipped in lime and chile salt.

The delicious, sophisticated take on the traditional tequila shots are these tequila-soaked mango nibbles. Bonus point: You can save the infused tequila to mix into your preferred cocktail or serve to guests later.

You can omit the chile powder if you're really not a fan, but I think it gives these mangos a nice, contrasted bite. Do you have Tajín available? Instead, make use of that!

Step 1: Mix the mango, tequila, and lime juice together in a big bowl. Give the mango an hour to soak.

Step 2: In the interim, combine the lime zest, salt, and chili powder in a small bowl.

Step 3: Thoroughly drain the mango (you can save the infused tequila to use as a mixer). Insert a toothpick into a mango slice. Dip a corner into the mixture of zest. To serve, arrange on a dish.
