Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and refreshing summer drink made with ripe mangoes, lime juice, and a touch of sweetness. Perfect for cooling off on hot days with a natural, vibrant flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes (about 3 cups peeled and chopped)
  • 4 cups (1 liter) cold filtered water
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves (about 10 leaves, optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the ripe mangoes into chunks, aiming for about 3 cups (roughly 2 large mangoes).
  2. Place the mango chunks in a blender with 2 cups (500 ml) of cold filtered water. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Optional: Pour the blended mango mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove fibrous pulp.
  4. Add the remaining 2 cups (500 ml) of cold filtered water to the pitcher. Stir in fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and honey or agave syrup if using. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime as desired.
  5. Tear the fresh mint leaves lightly and add them to the pitcher. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  6. Serve over ice cubes in tall glasses, garnished with a sprig of mint or a lime wheel.

Notes

If you want a creamier texture, substitute 1 cup of water with coconut water. Adjust sweetness last as mangoes vary in natural sugar. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Use frozen mango for a colder, frosty drink. Store in refrigerator up to 2 days and stir before serving.
