Gluten 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 whole thing comes together in a blender, so there's no complicated technique standing between you and a seriously refreshing cocktail. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten-containing grains, you can sip without a second thought about hidden additives or questionable mixers that sometimes sneak into store-bought margarita mixes. Blending the mango with honey and sea salt before adding the spirits creates a silky, naturally sweet base that makes this feel far more elevated than the effort involved. Straining through a fine mesh sieve gives the final drink a smooth, frothy texture without any fibrous pulp getting in the way. A salted rim and a fresh mango garnish push it right over the top — this one is genuinely hard to stop at just one glass.
