Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 3 medium fresh lemons, juiced
- 3 cups cold water (or 2 cups water and 1 cup sparkling water for a fizzy twist)
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes, as needed
- A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Peel and chop 2 large ripe mangoes into chunks.
- Place the mango chunks in a blender with 1 cup (8 fl oz) of cold water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Juice 3 medium lemons to get about 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) of juice, removing seeds.
- Pour the mango puree into a large pitcher. Add the lemon juice, remaining 2 cups (16 fl oz) cold water, and honey or agave syrup. Stir vigorously to combine and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for best flavor; frozen mango can be used if thawed slightly. Adjust sweetness with honey or agave syrup. For sparkling lemonade, replace 1 cup water with sparkling water just before serving. Strain lemon juice to remove seeds and pulp if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days; avoid freezing.
