- This is a fantastic refreshing drink,I needed something new to do with the hundreds of mango's we got of our trees and this drink is definatly a keeper
- i made this driink and it was delicious but I didn't love it but I love mangoes
- Very nice sweet tropical drink. I should have used advice of other posts and used less sugar or splenda as it is a bit sweet for my taste. It would also be great as an alcoholic drink with a bit of vodka or maybe rum...
- This was delicious. I used sparkling mineral water instead of plain water and used only 1 cup of sugar. It was sweet enough, next time I will try 3/4 cup of sugar.
- I was looking for a recipe to use up some mangoes that I had on hand and tried- so glad I did! It's very refreshing! I did cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup since I knew my mangoes were sweet enough but followed the recipe otherwise. Thanks!
Tweaks
- We realy enjoyed this drink. Very refreshing in this heat and with lovely contrasting flavours. sweet from the mango and after you drink you get a tart after tast from the lemon. I made 2 minor changes, I only used 1 cup of sugar and it was still more then sweet and instead of limes I used lemons because its very hard to come by limes here. I got to cups of puree from 1 large mango.
