Sustainable Tips:

One way to make this drink sustainable is by choosing organic, fair-trade, or locally-sourced tequila. These options support sustainable agriculture and workers' rights, and are often of higher quality than mass-produced tequilas. You can also look for tequila made from agave that is grown using regenerative agriculture practices, which can help restore soil health and reduce carbon emissions.

Another way to make this drink sustainable is by using fresh, ripe mangoes and creating your own mango puree in a blender. This reduces packaging waste and ensures that you are using the freshest ingredients possible. You can also choose to use agave nectar as a sweetener instead of simple syrup, as agave is a more sustainable sweetener option.
