Margarita DUOS III

Here's the last variation:

Rather than blending cilantro and cucumber, try Mango and Chipotle.  Or, make the frozen margarita, drizzle mango puree and then top with a cloud of Chipotle.   I found that if you take canned chipotles that you can find in the grocery store and use the liquid rather than the peppers, it does the job and gives you a better color contrast than just using the powdered spice.

Ok, enough smoke.  Here's the real deal....  Make the classic margarita but add some mango puree to it (1 1/2 oz).  You can either buy this from perfect purees or you can take a mango and blend it with some agave nectar and a bit of water.  Up to you and both give the same flavors....  Anyways, getting sidetracked.  Take the margarita and strain it into a martini glass.  then top it with the chipotle cloud and if you have some of the liquid from the canned chipotles left, drizzle some of that into the drink to add more contrast.  Tah dah... finished.
