I know you’re probably tired of hearing/reading this from around the Internet, but I’m so over winter. Over it. I’m over the negative degrees wind chill and my chapped face. I’m over brushing the snow off of my car and soaking wet boots. I’m over the freezing rain and flood warnings. I know I live in western PA, but this winter has been the worst I remember in years. I will say it’s finally warm this week as it’s been in the 50s. Thank freaking goodness. Now if the ice would just melt in my apartment’s parking lot so I don’t slide when I get out of the car, that would be great. When I find myself grumpy over the weather, I like to escape through food (after all, I am a food blogger!). Take these Mango Coconut Frozen Margaritas for example. I don’t think you can get any further away from winter than with mangos and coconut. Even though I said in my last post that I’m a beer girl, I do enjoy a good cocktail (or mocktail if it’s non-alcoholic). Of course when I drink a margarita, I like to throw myself a mini fiesta with food that pairs well with the drinks. Think wine pairing but with more Latin flair. Mango and coconut go really well with spicy flavors, and since I love eating snacks of all kinds, I paired my frozen margaritas with spicy corn tortilla chips, like the new Zesty Salsa Pringles® Tortillas. Chips that I didn’t have to make and fresh margaritas that only take a few minutes in the blender. Can a fiesta get any better than that?

Can I confess something? I *finally* conquered cutting a mango the proper way. Every time I try, I end up not doing so well (although with these margaritas, you don’t have to worry too much about knife cuts as they get blended anyway). Here’s the guide I used to explain how to cut a mango. I’m not a big fan of ice in my drinks, so I opted to freeze my fresh mango cubes before blending. Feel free to use already-frozen mango chunks or add some crushed ice to the blender. For the coconut milk, I used canned coconut milk after giving it a good shake and stirring it together. Sometimes the solid and liquid are separate in the can, so you want to whisk everything together and make sure it’s all liquid before measuring, just like regular milk. For the rim, I combined finely shredded coconut with sea salt. If you can’t find finely shredded, just pulse regular shredded coconut in a food processor a few times (or you can chop it up finely with a knife).

Of course you can’t have a fiesta without food! I paired my margaritas with the new Zesty Salsa Pringles® Tortillas, which are packed with a tangy, mouth-watering tomato flavor. I’ve always been a Pringles girl, especially for road trips as I almost always pack a few cans to snack on in the car. The best part is you don’t need a dip as they are flavorful on their own (can you imagine me trying to eat chips and dip in the car?!). You don’t need a dip with Pringles®, but you do need something to drink! You’ve heard of wine pairings – why not margarita pairings? The spiciness of the zesty salsa pairs really well with these Mango Coconut Margaritas because they cool down your palate.

I included both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions below so you can make your drink however you like. Most of the time when I’m invited to parties, I usually drive myself or end up being the designated driver. Why should I miss out on all the fun with boring water or regular pop? :)

I am so ready for spring too. I mistakenly left my car outside of the garage overnight, and now there is a blanket of snow on it! Grr. Maybe these margs will help. Sounds like it did the trick for you! Pinning!
Carla says
You poor thing! Right now there is frost all over my car as it’s still pretty cold in the mornings. Spring, where are you?! :)
Anita at Hungry Couple says
I hope you’re happy because it’s not even 9:00 am and I want chips and cocktails. I’m a big fan of mango drinks in general so this is right up my alley! Pinned.
Carla says
Hey drinking a margarita that early is kinda like having fresh fruit for breakfast, right? :)
[email protected] says
Sounds so lovely. Even dreamy. Here in New England, the snowbanks are just receding. Love that you froze the mango chunks first. What a great idea. This drink is a nice little escape to look forward to….Pinning this!
Carla says
This drink sounds like the perfect getaway from your weather! And on that note, it snowed (again) this morning. Spring, where are you?!
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
Perfect beverage to pair with those chips! Take me away!
Carla says
Thanks, Erin!
Susan says
So glad to know that you are a “beer girl” – a real one who likes real, good beer. That explains a lot about why your recipes are so good. I’m big on craft brews, too – when my husband and I drive around the country, we are always looking for new breweries.
These Margaritas sound great, but I given the amount of alcohol in them, I’d be drunk after just a few sips! That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t try them, though. I would have to find something else to pair with them – perhaps dark chocolate? – because I have no interest in chips. Weird, I know, but true.
Carla says
Ha feel free to reduce the amount of alcohol! It’s also divided between two drinks as well. Hmm white chocolate would be a nice pair because I’ve done some tropical dessert recipes that use white chocolate. I’m sure dark chocolate would be great too :)
heather @french press says
LOVE your idea to freeze the mango instead of watering it down with ice!
Carla says
I hate watered down drinks, so it only made sense to me. Thanks, Heather!
Jennie @themessybakerblog says
So over winter. I’m dreaming of festive cocktails, flip-flops, and sun. I can’t wait to make this delicious boozy beverage.
Carla says
So over it too. Thanks, Jennie!
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons says
My husband goes to Mexico for work quite often, and because (good) tequila is cheaper than water down there, he brings back bottle after bottle, way faster than we can drink it. Pinning this recipe so I can start to put a dent in our stash. I’ll make sure to have some Pringles on hand so we’re not drinking on empty stomachs ;)
Carla says
Ha I love this. Drink away :)
Karly says
I’ve been eyeing those Pringles at the store and now I’m dying for a can! I’m usually a BBQ chip fan.
Love that you didn’t water these down with ice! Bet they’re amazing!
Carla says
Oh you need to try them! I really enjoyed them as they had a nice spicy kick without setting your whole mouth on fire.
Thalia @ butter and brioche says
Love a good margarita.. especially when it’s filled with as much delicious flavour as these. And pringles are defintiely the perfect pairing to accompany them!
Carla says
Thanks, Thalia!
Alida says
You have the makings of a perfect party right here with that refreshing margarita (love coconut and mango!) and those tasty Pringles! Can’t wait to try their new flavors!
Susan says
Oh, Carla! I’ve fallen in love with odd margaritas (as in not standard), and this one calls to me very loudly. I’ll have to invest in both tequila and triple sec, but I’m sure this will be up at the top of my list of favorite margaritas. After having a regular margarita that I really liked at a restaurant last summer, I’ve realized that the secret to a good margarita is to make it totally fresh (no sweet/sour mix). Thanks for inspiring me.
Carla says
The good news is once you buy tequila and triple sec, they last a long, long time. I have several other margarita inspired recipes you can make once you buy the alcohol https://www.chocolatemoosey.com/tag/tequila/ And yes, the key to a great margarita is fresh ingredients; even fresh limes are better than bottled lime juice. Cheers!
Susan says
I’m a little late to this party since we were traveling for two months, but fortunately it’s never too late for a good margarita. I’m more likely to make the non-acololic version for myself these days because alcohol tends to be very hard on my stomach. But I think I would choose to use lemonade in place of the soda because a) I don’t drink soda and b) I’ve never liked lemon-lime soda, because something in it does not taste good to me.
Carla says
Oh I like the idea of lemonade! I bet the lemon, mango, and coconut will pair beautifully.
Kristen says
This is a perfect margarita! Thank you for all the info. I finally have a recipe I can make for summer parties.
Carla says
Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
