Description

These Raspberry Swirl Pineapple Mango Margaritas are a refreshing tropical twist on the classic margarita, combining the sweetness of mango and pineapple with a tangy clementine juice base and a vibrant raspberry swirl. Perfect for a summer gathering or a fun cocktail night, this recipe blends fresh fruit flavors with a sweet raspberry sauce that adds an elegant visual and taste contrast.


Ingredients

For the Margaritas

  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2/3 cup clementine juice
  • 1/3 cup simple syrup
  • 2 cups ice
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry sauce

For the Raspberry Sauce

  • 3 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Sauce: Start with cleaned, dry raspberries and add them to the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine sieve into a medium saucepan to remove the seeds, ensuring a smooth texture.
  2. Cook the Sauce: Whisk in the sugar and lemon juice to the strained puree. Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and skim off the foam from the surface for about five minutes.
  3. Reduce the Sauce: Lower the heat to low and allow the sauce to reduce by half, approximately 10 minutes, thickening it slightly. Pour the finished sauce into a heat-safe jar and let it cool completely before using.
  4. Make the Margaritas: In a blender, combine the frozen mango and pineapple chunks with clementine juice and simple syrup. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Add Ice: Add ice in handfuls to the blender and blend on high until the margarita mixture is frothy and smooth, adjusting the amount of ice to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Assemble the Drink: Using a spoon, swirl most of the cooled raspberry sauce around the inside of each margarita glass to create a decorative and flavorful swirl.
  7. Serve: Pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glasses and top with the remaining raspberry sauce for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • The raspberry sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For an alcoholic version, add tequila and triple sec to the margarita blend to taste.
  • Adjust the simple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level or substitute with agave syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure the frozen fruit is well-blended for a creamy texture without large chunks.
  • Use fresh clementine juice for the best taste; bottled juice may alter the flavor slightly.
