Ginger Free Paleo Mango Margarita
Ripe mango, fresh citrus, good tequila, and a touch of honey — this blended margarita is the kind of drink that tastes like a vacation in a glass. The base is built entirely from whole, unprocessed ingredients, so it fits naturally into a paleo lifestyle without any workarounds or substitutions. Blending the mango with honey and sea salt before adding the tequila creates a silky, intensely fruity purée that gives the drink its gorgeous color and natural sweetness. Straining the mixture through a fine mesh sieve keeps the texture smooth and cocktail-bar polished rather than thick and smoothie-like. Many store-bought margarita mixes sneak in additives, natural flavors, or spice blends that can be hard to vet — making this from scratch means you know exactly what's in your glass. The salted rim and fresh lime garnish add that classic finishing touch, and the whole thing comes together in just a few minutes with a blender.
