Description

Mangonada is a sweet and tasty Mexican frozen treat. Full of flavors and colors, this mango-flavored chamoyada is easy to make and a great summertime drink. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (12-ounce) can mango nectar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen mango chunks
  • About 4 teaspoons chamoy sauce, plus more for rimming the glasses
  • About 1/2 teaspoon Tajín, plus more for rimming the glasses
  • 1 fresh mango, cut into chunks
  • 2 tamarind candy straws (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour some chamoy onto a shallow plate and spread it out for rimming the glasses.
  2. Add Tajín to a second shallow plate.
  3. Dip the rim of each glass first into the chamoy and then into the Tajín.
  4. Add about 1 teaspoon chamoy to the bottom of each glass.
  5. Using a spoon, drizzle additional chamoy along the inside of each glass.
  6. Sprinkle just a dash of Tajín inside each glass.
  7. Add mango nectar, lime juice, and sugar to the blender.
  8. Add the frozen mango and blend until smooth.
  9. Fill each glass until almost full.
  10. Add just a splash of chamoy.
  11. Add the fresh mango, drizzle with more chamoy, and sprinkle with Tajín.
  12. Add tamarind candy straws and serve, if desired.

Notes

  • For an adult version, add one shot (about 1½ ounces) of rum or tequila per drink.
  • In your blender, add liquids before the frozen mango.
  • If you have a less powerful blender, add ½ the frozen mango and blend. Then add the remaining half.
  • Calories are NOT considering a tamarind candy straw, as that can vary widely.
