Description

Chile Mango Mexican Candy Shots are a vibrant and festive party drink featuring a bold combination of mango nectar, chamoy, and Tajín. These fun and tangy shots are perfectly balanced with coconut water, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice, rimmed with flavorful chamoy and Tajín, and garnished with chewy gummy candies or tamarind straws for an exciting twist.

Ingredients

Shot Mixture

  • 1 cup mango nectar
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon chamoy
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tajín (plus more for rimming)

For Rimming

  • Chamoy (for rimming)
  • Tajín (for rimming)

Garnish

  • Gummy candies or tamarind straws (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shot Glasses: Rim each shot glass with chamoy by dipping the rim into the chamoy sauce, then immediately dip the rim into Tajín seasoning to coat the edges evenly. This adds a spicy and tangy flavor that complements the shots.
  2. Mix the Shot Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine mango nectar, coconut water, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, chamoy, and 1/4 teaspoon of Tajín. Add ice to fill the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and blended thoroughly.
  3. Serve the Shots: Strain the chilled mixture evenly into the prepared shot glasses, ensuring each glass receives a balanced amount of liquid.
  4. Garnish: Add a gummy candy or tamarind straw to the rim or inside each shot glass for a playful and delicious garnish that enhances the experience.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant, bold, and festive flavors of these unique Chile Mango Mexican Candy Shots with friends and family at your next gathering.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust chamoy and Tajín amounts to your preferred spice level.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the orange liqueur and replace with additional coconut water or a citrus soda.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the chill and flavor intensity.
  • Gummy candies and tamarind straws are optional but add a fun textural contrast.
