Notes
Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes deliver the sweetest and most aromatic flavor for this lemonade.
Frozen mango chunks are a fantastic year-round option and give a beautifully smooth puree.
The lime zest is key — it adds a fragrant citrus aroma that elevates the entire drink.
Strain the mango puree thoroughly for the silkiest and most refined lemonade texture.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as natural separation occurs.
