Description
A vibrant, refreshing frozen mocktail made with frozen mango and pineapple chunks, lime juice, and a touch of sweetener. It offers a thick, slushy texture without diluting the flavor, making it perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks (approx. 250g)
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (approx. 250g)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey
- 1 cup ice (optional, if fruit isn’t frozen hard enough)
- Lime wheels for garnish
- Mint or edible flowers for garnish (optional)
- Shredded coconut for rimming (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the fruit: If using fresh fruit, cut into cubes and freeze for at least 4 hours. If using frozen fruit, ensure chunks are small enough for your blender.
- Juice the limes: Squeeze fresh limes to get 2 tablespoons of juice, removing any seeds.
- Blend the base: Add frozen mango, pineapple, lime juice, and sweetener to a high-speed blender. Pulse briefly to break down chunks.
- Blend to perfection: Blend on low, gradually increasing to high, for 30-60 seconds until a thick slush forms. Add a splash of water or coconut water only if the blender is stuck.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the mixture. Add more lime for tartness or more syrup for sweetness if needed.
- Serve: Pour into glasses. Rim glasses with coconut if desired. Garnish with lime wheels and mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit and ice to prevent a watery, diluted drink. The frozen fruit acts as the ice, creating a thick, creamy slush. If using canned pineapple, drain it well. For a lighter version, substitute some water with coconut water. This drink melts quickly, so serve immediately or freeze the blended mixture for up to 1 month and re-blend before serving.
