Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh mango chunks Peeled and diced
  • 1 cup lime juice Freshly squeezed
  • 3 cups cold water For mixing
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili lime seasoning For the rim
  • ice cubes For serving

Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender For pureeing the mangoes
  • 1 Citrus juicer For extracting lime juice
  • 1 Large Glass Pitcher For serving
  • 1 Measuring cups For accurate liquids

Method
 

  1. Peel the fresh mangoes carefully to remove the tough skin so the fruit is completely bare.
  2. Chop the peeled fruit into small uniform chunks to help the blades catch so they process evenly.
  3. Slice the fresh limes in half to expose the flesh so the citrus juice extracts easily.
  4. Squeeze the lime halves over a measuring cup to collect the liquid so the volume is completely accurate.
  5. Toss the mango pieces directly into the blender pitcher to build the base so the puree can form.
  6. Pour the fresh lime juice and sugar over the fruit to add moisture so the mixture blends smoothly.
  7. Pulse the blender on high speed to break down the chunks so the puree becomes completely liquid.
  8. Transfer the thick puree into a serving pitcher to prepare for mixing so the drink comes together.
  9. Stir the cold water into the pitcher vigorously to thin the concentrated base so the texture feels refreshing.
  10. Dip the rim of each glass lightly into chili seasoning to coat the edges so they look beautifully fiery.
  11. Pour the chilled limeade directly over ice to chill the beverage so it stays completely cold.

Notes

If your fresh mangoes are incredibly ripe and sweet, reduce the granulated sugar by half so the limeade maintains a perfectly tart and balanced flavor.
