Spicy Mango Refresher
This spicy mango refresher is my go-to drink when I want something fruity with a kick. It's vibrant, refreshing, and perfect for hot days or when I need a little boost.
I remember the first time I made this spicy mango refresher during a summer picnic with friends.
We were all feeling a bit sluggish in the heat, and I knew I needed to whip up something that would cool us down and wake us up.
This drink, with its balance of sweetness from the mango and a zesty kick from the jalapeño, was an instant hit!
I love that it’s naturally sweet and refreshing without any added sugars, and it’s just so easy to make.
