Spicy Mango Turmeric Tonic - Vegan recipe hero image

I first stumbled upon this Spicy Mango Turmeric Tonic while experimenting with flavors for a summer gathering.

I wanted something that would cool us down but also pack a punch in terms of health benefits.

The combination of mango and turmeric not only tastes fantastic but also reminds me of sunny days spent on the beach.

Whenever I sip this, it feels like a little hug in a glass!

  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike

Ingredients & Substitutions

Fresh turmeric can be a bit tricky to find, but I really encourage you to use it if you can—it gives such a vibrant color and flavor. If you can't find it, ground turmeric works just fine! The jalapeño adds a nice kick, but feel free to adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance. You can also swap out coconut water for plain water or even some chilled herbal tea for a different flavor profile.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to double this recipe and keep some in the fridge—it makes for a quick, energizing drink any time of day.
  • If you want to make it even more special, try adding a pinch of black pepper to enhance the turmeric absorption!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I'll add a splash of ginger juice for an extra zing.
  • You could also throw in some pineapple for a fun twist on the tropical vibe!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftover tonic in a glass jar in the fridge. Just give it a little shake before you enjoy it again, as it may separate a bit over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just store it in the fridge in an airtight container. It’s best enjoyed within a day or two, but it can last up to three days.
