Tips & Variations:
- No frozen mango? Use fresh mango and add extra ice.
- Want it extra spicy? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blend.
- Make it non-alcoholic by skipping the tequila and orange liqueur—just add extra mango nectar!
- For a swirl effect, blend a little chamoy with some mango puree separately and layer it into the drink before serving.
