• Place the fresh mango and lime juice in a blender. Blend until totally pureed and smooth. It will be a bit thick! If it looks waaaay too thick, you can add some extra lime juice, but remember we will mix it with all the booze and soda.
• In a large pitcher, stir together the mango puree, tequila, grand marnier, mint syrup and club soda. Add a few lime slices and some big handfuls of fresh mint. Stir. Taste and if needed, add more mint syrup and lime juice. Or tequila! Everyone likes their margaritas differently.
• To serve, stir together the sugar, salt and chili powder. Rim a glass with a lime wedge and dip it in the chili salt. Fill the glass with ice and pour the punch in! Enjoy.

mint syrup

• Add the water, sugar and mint leaves to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Let it bubble for a minute or so, then reduce the heat and let it cool completely. I’ll usually put it in a bowl or jar, let it come to room temperature, remove the mint and then stick it in the fridge overnight if making it beforehand.

salty chili sugar

• Combine sugar, salt and chili powder on a plate and stir well to combine before dipping each glass.
