Charlie Hoerner's Famous Kauai Mango Margaritas

6 oz Gold Tequila
2 oz orange-flavored liqueur - Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Triple Sec
2-3 Tbsp Coconut Cream (not Coconut Milk) - usually found in a can in the drink or Asian Food section
Frozen Mango Chunks - about 3+ cups
Margarita Mix - Kirkland brand has cane sugar (not high fructose corn syrup.)
Salt for rim - optional
fruit garnish or little umbrellas

A full blender makes four drinks depending on the size of your glasses.

Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and run on ice crusher mode.

In a cup measure pour six oz Tequila and two oz Grand Marnier, Cointreau or Triple Sec.

Add to blender and blend at medium. Since I usually keep my ingredients in the freezer, the ice is optional.

Add 2-3 Tbsp Coconut Cream while blending with ice.

Add two cups of frozen mango chunks and blend on high.

As mangoes are broken up and thicken in blender add margarita mix to keep contents flowing in a whirlpool.

Add more mango chunks and/or margarita mix to get the right consistency and fill the blender.

Salt rim of glass, if desired, and add garnish of lime wedge, drink umbrella, straw...

Pour, salute the tropics, and enjoy!
