  • About

The tropical combination of mango, lime, and ginger is just the refresher I crave after a day of working in a hot kitchen. You can substitute any fruit you have on hand, such as strawberries, melons, or peeled peaches or nectarines. And on those evenings when you seek serious adult refreshment, try it with vodka, tequila, or rum.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup/200 g sugar

Method

In a blender or food processor, process the mangoes until smooth. In a pitcher or jar, combine the sugar and lime juice, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the mango purée, lime zest, water, and ginger and stir until combined. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Serve in tall glasses over ice, and garnish with lime wheels.
