Spicy Mango Lime Refresher - Vegan recipe hero image

I still remember the first time I had a spicy mango drink at a beach shack during my travels.

It was a moment of pure bliss, feeling the sun on my skin while sipping something vibrant and zesty.

I knew I had to recreate that magic at home!

This Spicy Mango Lime Refresher is my twist on that experience, and I love how it brings a little sunshine into my kitchen no matter the season.

Plus, it’s so easy to whip up!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

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.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes. Make sure they’re sweet and juicy – that’s key for this drink.

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine the diced mango, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, grated ginger, chopped jalapeño, and water.

  3. 3

    Blend everything together until it’s smooth and well combined. If you like a little texture, you can blend it less.

  4. 4

    Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or spice level to your liking by adding more agave or jalapeño.

  5. 5

    If you want it chilled, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until slushy.

  6. 6

    Pour the refresher into glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and enjoy immediately!
