Mangos are made for summer. This mango lemonade is so refreshing, so juicy, and so deliciously tropical.
You haven’t totally gotten the full benefits of summer til you have had a pitcher of this mango lemonade. YEP! I didn’t say a glass. It’s just not enough to quench your thirst.
This mango lemonade will tickle your tongue and tantalize your taste buds. Why settle for just plain lemonade?
Oh mangoes, don’t you just love them?
Anyone? I see you nodding. Okay, I couldn’t resist a good sale on my summer fav – 3 for the price of 1. Super-markets usual make you go crazy when they put up the 3 for 1 sale.
I picked up a dozen of these babies. And have been devouring them like there’s no tomorrow. Might as well, these sweet juicy mangoes won’t last that long. Summer won’t either.
The ones that are too ripe for my liking, I make lemonade with them.
Blend together with lemon and/or limes add some sweetener and you are good to go. Short, simple and sweet. But if you are willing to spice it up, there are tons of ways to go about it. Spice it up with a teaspoons of ginger, use coconut water instead, cayenne pepper, crushed mint.
If you want healthier lemonade then go with honey or coconut sugar. Or be fancy and do simple syrup.
Going to a tropical island is just not in the works right now. I hear you. Transport yourself there by adding some rum to your liking . You be jammin’ in less that no time.
Enjoy

This mango lemonade recipe looks so good for summer, mangoes are so juicy and refreshing and we can use them in many different type of recipes. Thanks for sharing this amazing mango drink recipe; I usually get a box of mangoes (about 10-12 mangoes) for around $6 and this fruit is totally worth it.
