Looking for a refreshing twist on your classic lemonade? This Mango Lemonade combines the tropical sweetness of ripe mangoes with the tangy kick of fresh lemons, creating the perfect summer drink. The rich, fruity flavor of the mango balances out the tartness of the lemons, and a touch of honey adds a natural sweetness without overpowering the citrusy notes. It’s a simple, thirst-quenching beverage that’s great for backyard barbecues, picnics, or just lounging by the pool.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 4 cups cold water
- ¼ cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices and mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the mango cubes and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the pulp (optional, for a smoother texture).
- In a large pitcher, mix the mango puree, lemon juice, and remaining 3 cups of water.
- Add honey or sugar to taste, stirring until it’s fully dissolved.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately over ice.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint if desired.
Enjoy your tropical mango lemonade!
