Notes
If you prefer more heat, feel free to add extra Tajín or sprinkle it on top for an additional kick.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the orange liqueur with more mango nectar and a splash of lime juice.
Experiment with different garnishes, such as chili powder-coated sugar or a lime slice for added tang.
