Instructions
For the Tajín-Sugar Rim:
On a shallow plate, mix together sugar and chile-lime seasoning.
Dip the rim of your shot glass into lime juice or swipe a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the dampened rim of the glass into the prepared Tajín-sugar, assuring the mixture covers the entire rim.
For the Chile-Mango Mexican Candy Shot:
To the pitcher of a blender (or the cup of a handheld immersion blender), add frozen mango, mango-flavored orange juice, tequila, and agave nectar. Blend until smooth.
Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of chamoy along the inside of your shot glass. Immediately fill glass with mango mixture. If you wish, run a lime wedge along the edge of a piece of sweetened, dried mango and dip it into the chile-lime seasoning. You can place it on top of the shot glass as a garnish.
