Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1-2 fresh red chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 2 ounces vodka (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Blend the diced mangoes in a blender until smooth to create a puree.
- In a large pitcher, combine the mango puree, finely chopped chilies, and lime juice. Stir well to incorporate.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the mango mixture evenly into each glass.
- Top off each glass with sparkling water and gently stir to combine.
- If using, add vodka to each glass for an alcoholic version and garnish with mint leaves before serving.
Notes
Tip: For a fun twist, rim the glasses with chili powder or TajÃn before serving!
For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and increase the sparkling water proportion. You can also adjust the chili level according to your spice preference—add less for a milder drink or more for an extra kick!
Store any leftover mango puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and use it in smoothies or as a yogurt topping. This drink is best served fresh, but you can prepare the mango puree in advance.
