Introduction

The Non-Alcoholic Mangonada is a refreshing Mexican-inspired drink that bursts with tropical mango flavor, tangy lime, and a spicy kick from Tajín seasoning. Perfect for hot days or anytime you want a vibrant, flavorful beverage without alcohol.

The image shows two clear glasses filled with a thick yellow mango smoothie that has swirls of red sauce inside, especially near the bottom. The rims of the glasses are coated with a reddish spice mix. Each glass is topped with a dollop of the mango smoothie, and a dark red, stick-shaped garnish is placed upright in the middle of the top layer. The glasses sit on a white marbled surface with a green cloth and cut pieces of lime and mango in the background, creating a fresh, bright setting. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

16 oz. frozen mango
12 oz. mango nectar
1 cup ice
1 lime, juiced
3 tbsp chamoy sauce
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp Tajín seasoning
Tamarind candy sticks (tamarind straws) for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: In a blender, combine the frozen mango, mango nectar, ice, lime juice, and sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Dip the rims of your glasses into chamoy sauce, then coat them generously with Tajín seasoning to create a flavorful, spicy rim.
Step 3: Drizzle some chamoy sauce along the inside walls of each glass for extra tang and color.
Step 4: Pour the mango blend into the prepared glasses. Garnish each drink with a tamarind candy stick and optional slices of mango or lime.
Step 5: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, icy flavors at their best.

Tips & Variations

For a creamier texture, add a splash of coconut milk before blending.
If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of Tajín seasoning on the rim.
Fresh mango slices make a beautiful and tasty garnish.
Try substituting lime juice with lemon juice for a slightly different citrus twist.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving again; however, the texture may be less icy after refrigeration.

FAQs

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh mango can be used, but you’ll need to add more ice to maintain the cold, slushy texture of the drink.

What is chamoy sauce?

Chamoy is a Mexican condiment made from pickled fruit, chili, and lime, offering a unique sweet, sour, and spicy flavor that complements the mangonada perfectly.
