Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes (about 2 cups diced), plus 1/2 cup for garnish

Instructions

  • Peel and dice most of your mangoes, reserving 1/2 cup of smaller chunks for layering. Place the larger portion into a blender.
  • Add lime juice, optional sugar, and ice to the blender with the mango. Blend until a smooth, thick slush forms. Adjust ice or liquid for desired consistency.
  • Pour a small amount of chamoy into a shallow dish, and Tajín onto another plate. Dip the rim of your serving glasses into chamoy, then into Tajín. Swirl additional chamoy inside each glass.
  • Layer the blended mango slush, reserved mango chunks, and drizzles of chamoy into the prepared glasses, repeating until full.
  • Garnish generously with a final sprinkle of Tajín and an optional tamarind candy straw or mango slice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
