The mango fandango
Charmaine Katz's cocktail lives on the border between a mango daiquiri and a spicy margarita. You could also serve it without the water as a boozy, spicy soft serve. Follow Charmaine Katz on Instagram

Ingredients
- 1 tsp mild chilli powder
- 1 tsp coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- 2 bird’s eye chillies (from a pack of mixed Thai chillies), to taste
- 2 limes, halved
- 500ml tub alphonso mango sorbet
- 120ml dark rum
- Generous pinch Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
- Ice, to serve
Method
Prepare the glasses. Mix the chilli powder with the coconut or sugar on a plate. Cut 1 chilli in half, then rub a piece around the rims of 4 short tumblers. Rub the rims with a lime half, then swivel them in the chilli sugar until the edges are coated. Set aside.
Finely slice the chilli (or chillies), leaving the seeds in. Squeeze the lime halves and add the juice to a blender with the sorbet, rum, salt, chilli and 100ml cold water. Blend until smooth and slushy. Add more water to loosen if necessary, then serve immediately over ice
Cook’s tip
If you don’t like rum, swap for vodka or tequila, or leave out altogether for an alcohol-free slushy.
