Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Rim a glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into Tajín seasoning to coat the edge. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.
- Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, mango puree, and hot honey. Add a handful of ice to the shaker.

Notes

- For a frozen margarita version, blend all ingredients with 1 cup of ice until smooth.
- If hot honey is not available, substitute with agave syrup combined with chili flakes for a similar spicy sweetness.
