This drink combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with a kick of chili, and it’s become a staple for me during hot days. It’s refreshing and has a little zing that just feels vibrant.
I remember the first time I tried a chili mango drink at a street market in Mexico.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh mangoes when they're in season, but if you can't find ripe ones, frozen mango works beautifully too! The coconut water adds a lovely natural sweetness and hydration, but you can substitute plain water if you want a lighter drink. And don’t be shy with the chili powder—it really enhances the flavor.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep a batch in the fridge for quick refreshing breaks during hot days.
- •Try experimenting with different types of chili—cayenne or chipotle can give it a different flavor profile.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a splash of ginger juice for a spicy kick that really wakes up your taste buds!
- •If I want a creamier texture, I’ll toss in a banana while blending—delicious!
Storage & Freezing
