Ingredients

  • 2 cups (330g) mango, chopped
  • ½ cup (120ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon (60ml) lime juice

Simple Syrup

  • ¾ cup (150g) sugar replace with honey, or any sweetener
  • 2 cups (474ml) cold water or more
  • 2 mint leaves (optional)
  • Moscato wine or rum (optional)

Instructions

Easy Sugar Method

  • Puree mango, lime juice, lemon juice, sugar, and about a cup of water until the sugar dissolves. Adjust to the desired texture and intensity with more water.
  • Pour over ice.

Simple Syrup Method

  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Keep stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved—5-7 minutes. Throw in a couple of mint leaves if desired, and set aside to cool.

Make the Lemonade

  • Place mango chunks in a blender and puree.
  • Pour the mango puree into a large pitcher, then add the lemon and lime juice. Adjust the sweetness to your preference with simple syrup. Stir until everything comes together. Add alcohol, if including, and adjust with cold water, if needed.
  • Chill and serve in tall lemonade glasses. Put ice cubes in the glass before pouring for extra refreshing mango lemonade.

Notes

  • Frozen mango pulp also works well.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your tastes. For more tartness, add an extra squeeze of lemon juice. More simple syrup will increase the sweetness.
  • Lemons that are heavy for their size and thin-skinned usually have more juice.
  • Chill the lemonade for at least an hour before serving for an ice cold drink.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
