Oh boy, these were strong! I really enjoyed the slushy mango part of these, but I definitely needed to cut back on the amount of tequila for me to be able to drink a whole one. That being said, I'm not much of a drinker, so I can see someone who can handle their tequila better really enjoying these to the fullest. I didn't have any fresh mangoes, so I subbed in some Goya frozen mango puree instead. I'll definitely do these again this summer, but I'll probably put half the amount of tequila in to suit my alco-weenie tastebuds. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2013
