Instructions

For the simple syrup:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar with 1 cup of water until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium-low and simmer until thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. The syrup can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and kept refrigerated in an airtight container.

For the spicy rim:

Cover the bottom of a medium plate with honey. Cover the bottom of a shallow bowl with tajin. Flip each cup upside down and dip the rim in the honey then in the Tajin.

For the mango margarita:

Add the mango, ice, tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and ½ cup of the simple syrup to a blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth, adding water as needed to thin out the frozen mixture if needed.
Divide among the rimmed glasses and garnish with a slice of lime and serve immediately. (Optional: garnish with a lime wedge).
