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.
