Spicy Mango Ginger Refresher - Vegan recipe hero image

I first whipped up this Spicy Mango Ginger Refresher on a sunny afternoon when I craved something vibrant and invigorating.

There’s something magical about how the sweet mango pairs with the spicy ginger – it really wakes up your senses!

I love to sip on this while lounging in my garden, surrounded by blooming herbs.

It’s a little ritual that brings me joy and keeps me connected to nature.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Using fresh, ripe mango is key here; it adds that luscious sweetness that makes this drink so enjoyable. If mangoes aren't in season, you can use frozen mango instead, just blend it with a little more water. Fresh ginger adds a lovely warmth, but if you want a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount.

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my ginger root in the freezer - it grates beautifully when frozen and lasts longer!
  • If you're really feeling fancy, a splash of sparkling water can add a delightful fizz to this refresher.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I'll throw in a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without changing the flavor.
  • You can also swap out the lime juice for lemon juice for a slightly different tang.

Storage & Freezing

This refresher is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake before serving again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prepare the mixture and store it in the fridge for a couple of hours, but I recommend adding ice right before serving for the best experience.
