Chicken Free Paleo Mango Margarita
Ripe mango, fresh citrus, good tequila, and a touch of honey — this blended margarita is the kind of drink that makes a regular Tuesday feel like a vacation. The mango is blended smooth with honey and sea salt before the tequila, lime juice, and orange juice join the party, creating a frothy, tropical sip that's naturally sweetened and completely from scratch. Straining the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve is the move that separates a silky cocktail from a chunky smoothie, so don't skip it. A salted rim adds that classic contrast that makes every sip pop. Since every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed — fresh fruit, pure honey, 100% agave tequila — there's nothing hidden to second-guess, which is exactly the kind of clean drinking a paleo lifestyle calls for. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a mango slice on the rim and watch it disappear fast.
