Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cubed mangoes, lime juice, cold water, and honey. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp, resulting in a smooth and vibrant mango-lime base.
- Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir the drink well until the chilled cubes have slightly diluted the mixture, adding a refreshing touch.
- Pour the Mango Lime Infusion into glasses, filling each one about three-quarters full to allow room for garnishing.
- For a finishing touch, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves and a thin lime slice for a pop of color and added aroma.
Helpful Tips and Variations

- Serving Ideas: Serve the drink in chilled glasses on a warm day for an extra refreshing experience.
- Party adjustments: Scale up the ingredients to prepare a bigger batch for a gathering. Opt for a large punch bowl for a vibrant display.
