How to make a Spicy Mango Daiquiri

Chill a coupe and lightly rim its outer edge with lime, then Tajín; prepare a mango wedge.
Add rum, cachaça, spicy mango syrup, lime juice, mango purée and a pinch of salt to a shaker with ice.
Shake hard until fully chilled and finely aerated.
Fine strain into the chilled coupe and garnish with the mango wedge.

Garnish

Mango wedge on a light Tajín rim.

Pro tip

Keep the Tajín rim light. It should sharpen the first sip without masking the mango’s perfume.
