MANGONADA
When the summer sun screams across Mexico's city streets and sandy beaches, mangonadas come to the rescue. Also called chamangos, they can be made with any combination of mango sorbet, chopped fresh mango or mango purée, and may or may not be spiked, but they'll always contain the salty, spicy and tangy flavors of Tajín and chamoy. Tajín, a chile-lime salt, is a delicious addition to sweet and savory foods alike. Its sister condiment, chamoy, is traditionally made from fermented fruit, salt, sugar and chiles. Depending on your location, you can find Tajín, chamoy and tamarind straws - their sour, chewy coating adds an extra tickle of tartness - at supermarkets or Latin American grocers; all three are available online.

Steps:
- Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
- Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
- To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use ripe mangoes: The riper the mangoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice pops will be.
- Freeze the mango chunks before making the ice pops: This will help them retain their shape and prevent them from becoming too watery.
- Use high-quality Tajín: Tajín is a Mexican seasoning made from chili peppers, lime, and salt. It adds a delicious sweet, spicy, and tangy flavor to the ice pops.
- Add other ingredients to taste: Feel free to add other ingredients to your ice pops, such as honey, agave nectar, or fresh lime juice.
- Enjoy your ice pops immediately or store them in the freezer for later: Mango Tajín ice pops are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Mango Tajín ice pops are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for a hot summer day. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a cool and refreshing snack, give these ice pops a try!
