What if the Mango Jalapeño Margarita is too sweet?
Add fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon at a time, shake again with ice and taste.
Why: Mango ripeness, orange liqueur and agave can make sweetness vary.
Watch for: Adjust only after the drink is cold and diluted.
What if the margarita is too tart?
Add agave syrup 1/2 teaspoon at a time and shake again.
Why: Fresh lime juice varies in acidity and the mango may be less ripe.
Watch for: Stop when the mango becomes clear again; too much agave can hide the jalapeño.
What if the jalapeño makes the margarita too spicy?
Strain out the jalapeño, add more mango and lime mixture without chile and shake again with ice.
Why: Jalapeños vary widely in heat, and muddling releases capsaicin quickly.
Watch for: Do not try to remove heat with water alone; dilute with the complete nonspicy drink mixture.
What if chunks of mango make the margarita difficult to pour?
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing gently, then pour over fresh ice.
Why: The mango was fibrous or was not muddled finely enough.
Watch for: Keep enough mango puree for flavor; straining will make the drink smoother.
What if the Tajín rim is overpowering the drink?
Wipe off part of the rim or transfer the drink to a clean glass with only half the rim seasoned.
Why: Too much salty chile-lime seasoning coated the rim.
Watch for: Leave an unseasoned section so each sip can be adjusted.
