Virgin Mango Margaritas

Tonights menu is all thanks to pioneerwoman.com, she is my hero. I had some making up to do with my family so for an extra special addition to dinner, I made these virgin mango margaritas. So good! I just love fun drinks like this!

Virgin Mango Margaritas


2 large whole Limes
2 Tablespoons Coarse Sugar (decorator's Sugar)
2 jars (20 Ounce) Mango Chunks, Drained (or 2 large fresh mangos, rouphly chopped)
1 cup sprite/ or 7-up (I used 1 1/2 cups)
¼ cups Sugar

Zest the limes and lay the zest on a plate. If you have the time, let the zest dry out for ten minutes or so. Pour the coarse sugar over the zest and toss it around with your fingers to combine. Lime sugar! Yum.
Throw the mango chunks into a blender. Pour in the soda and sugar. Squeeze in the juice of the limes, then top off the whole thing with ice. Blend it until it’s totally smooth. Give it a taste, then add more of what you think it needs (soda, sugar, lime, etc.)
To serve, cut a small wedge in one of the juiced limes and rub the lime all over the rim of the glass to moisten. Dip the rim of the glasses in the lime sugar to give it a pretty, crystally rim.
Pour in the margaritas and serve immediately! EnJOY!
