Ingredients & Substitutions
The mango is the star here, so go for the ripest ones you can find. If you’re not a fan of jalapeño, you can try using a pinch of cayenne for heat or leave it out altogether. And if limes are out of season, lemon juice works well too!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep the spiciness balanced, so I start with half the jalapeño and add more if I want a kick.
- •If you’re feeling fancy, try serving it with a rim of chili powder on the glass for an extra zing!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a splash of coconut water instead of regular water for an extra tropical twist.
- •You can also blend in a handful of spinach or kale for a green version that’s just as tasty.
Storage & Freezing
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge, but try to use it within a day for the best taste. Give it a good shake before drinking!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
I recommend enjoying it fresh for the best flavor, but you can prepare the mango-lime mixture and store it in the fridge for a day or two. Just give it a good shake before serving.
