I’ve always had a soft spot for tropical flavors, and this Tropical Mango Mint Cooler is my go-to when I want to bring a bit of sunshine into my kitchen.
I remember sipping on something similar while lounging on the beach, and it inspired me to create a healthier version using whole foods.
The vibrant colors and refreshing taste never fail to lift my spirits.
Plus, it's super easy to whip up when you're feeling a bit fancy (or if guests drop by unexpectedly!).

Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango is the star here, so pick ones that are ripe and fragrant. If you're in a pinch, frozen mango works too—just thaw it out first. Fresh mint adds such a lovely aroma and flavor, but if you're out, you could try basil for a different twist.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep some extra mint leaves in water in the fridge; they stay fresh for days and make everything feel fancy.
- •If you're really in a tropical mood, consider adding a splash of rum or vodka for an adult version!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost—it's a great way to sneak in some greens!
- •You could also swap out the coconut water for a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
Storage & Freezing
This cooler is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before serving, as it might separate a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mango?
Absolutely! Just make sure to let it thaw a bit before blending. It’ll be just as delicious!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by peeling, pitting, and dicing your ripe mangoes. The riper they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your cooler will be.
- 2
In a blender, combine the diced mango, fresh mint leaves, coconut water, lime juice, and agave syrup if you’re using it.
- 3
Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy. If you like a little texture, you can blend it less.
- 4
Taste your mixture and adjust sweetness if needed. Some mangoes are sweeter than others!
- 5
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp. This step is optional, but it gives you a beautifully smooth drink.
- 6
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cooler over the ice. Garnish with extra mint leaves for a lovely presentation.
