Icy Mangonadas For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange 2 1/2 cups of the cubed mango in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze until fruit is firm, at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours. Meanwhile, reserve the remaining mango in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Transfer the frozen mango to a food processor. Add the sugar, lime juice and 1/2 cup hot water. Process the mixture until completely smooth, stopping to stir with a wooden spoon, and adding up to 1/4 cup more hot water as needed so the consistency is similar to softened sorbet (a few small chunks of mango are fine).
• Put the chamoy on a small plate and the tajín on a second plate. Press the rim of a 12-ounce glass into the chamoy and then into the tajin to coat; repeat with another glass. Divide one-third of the reserved mango chunks between the glasses. Top each with a generous pinch of tajín. Using a small resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off, squirt some chamoy around the inside of each glass.
• Layer the glasses (in the following order) with a big scoop of mango sorbet, half the remaining mango chunks, a big pinch of tajín, the remaining sorbet, the remaining mango chunks, another big pinch of tajín and a drizzle of chamoy. Serve with a tamarind candy straw.

Steps:

• Place 1 teaspoon chamoy on a plate. Place 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning on another plate. Dip rim of glass first in chamoy, then in chili-lime seasoning. Set aside.
• Combine frozen mango, water, and lime juice in a blender; blend until smooth.
• Place 1/2 tablespoon chamoy in the bottom of the glass. Add 1/2 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning and 1/2 of the blended mangoes. Repeat layers and top with diced fresh mango.

Steps:

• Place frozen mango chunks, mango nectar, and ice into a blender and blend until smooth.
• Juice half of lime into each glass then add 1-2 tablespoons of chamoy and 1 teaspoon of tajin to each glass. Swirl the chamoy and lime together and up the side of each glass.
• Pour the frozen mango mixture into each glass and top with fresh diced mango, more chamoy, and a sprinkle of tajin seasoning.
• Serve immediately. We serve these with tamarindo straws.

Steps:

• Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
• Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
• To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.
