The mangonada, a classic Mexican cocktail, marries sweet and tangy flavors for a twist on the more familiar margarita.
Blending mango (either frozen fruit or mango nectar) and chamoy sauce made from fruit, chiles, and lime creates a fusion of refreshingly sweet and savory flavors, presented with a beautiful two-tone swirl that is a feast for the eyes as well as the ’gram.
At Aye! Toro, a generous glass is rimmed with Tajin, then filled to the brim with the frozen blend of tequila, mango nectar, chamoy sauce, a hint of hot sauce, and garnished with a tamarind candy stick.
Manager Alfonso Llamas assures that the cocktail isn’t spicy, but guests can request to add spice if desired.
“We can make it with strawberry or other flavors as well,” says Alfonso.
