Virgin layered Strawberry-Mango margarita
Layers of blended strawberries and mango with a touch of zesty citrus flavor combine for a fun nonalcoholic drink without all the extra calories and sugar of a traditional restaurant margarita.
Ingredients
3 cups frozen strawberries
3 cups ice, divided
1 cup water, divided
⅔ cup lime juice, divided
½ cup orange juice, divided
¼ cup simple syrup (see Tip), divided
3 cups frozen mango chunks
Directions
Step 1
Place strawberries, 1 1/2 cups ice, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup orange juice and 2 tablespoons simple syrup in a blender. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a pitcher or bowl.
Step 2
Rinse out the blender jar. Place mango and the remaining 1 1/2 cups ice, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup orange juice and 2 tablespoons simple syrup in the blender. Puree until smooth.
Step 3
Decoratively layer the two margaritas in 6 glasses. Leave the layers distinct or partially stir together for a swirled design.
