Spicy Mango Refresher - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made this spicy mango refresher during a summer picnic with friends.

We were all feeling a bit sluggish in the heat, and I knew I needed to whip up something that would cool us down and wake us up.

This drink, with its balance of sweetness from the mango and a zesty kick from the jalapeño, was an instant hit!

I love that it’s naturally sweet and refreshing without any added sugars, and it’s just so easy to make.

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

I love using fresh mangoes for this, as they bring a beautiful sweetness. If mangoes aren't in season, you could try frozen mango chunks; just let them thaw a bit before blending. The jalapeño adds a fun twist, but you can easily adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to prepare my ingredients the night before, so it's super quick to whip up in the morning.
  • For an extra touch, try garnishing it with a slice of lime on the rim of your glass.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of sparkling water for a bubbly version.
  • You could also swap in pineapple instead of mango for a tropical twist!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two days. Just remember to give it a shake or stir before enjoying again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the mixture and store it in the fridge for up to a day before serving. Just give it a good stir before pouring it over ice.
