Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup cold coconut water or coconut milk, or water
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • to taste chamoy sauce (recipe in notes)
  • Tajin for the rim
  • sliced mango for serving
  • tamarind stick for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. 1. Begin by rimming your tall glass with Tajin. This step adds a burst of flavor right from the first sip. Just moisten the rim of the glass with a little lime juice and then dip it into a plate filled with Tajin.
  2. 2. Now, it's time to blend! In your blender, combine the mango chunks, coconut water, lime juice, and a handful of ice. Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no chunks left. You can adjust the amount of ice based on your preference for texture.
  3. 3. Once blended, taste your mixture. If you’d like it a little sweeter or more tangy, feel free to add more lime juice or sweetener of your choice.
  4. 4. Next, pour the mango smoothie into the prepared glass. Since this is a layered drink, pouring it slowly will help maintain the beautiful layers.
  5. 5. Now, take your chamoy sauce and drizzle it over the top of the mango mixture. Drizzle it in a spiral motion or however you fancy, layering as you go.
  6. 6. To finish off, sprinkle a little more Tajin on top and add a few slices of mango for decoration. You can also place a tamarind stick in the glass as a garnish.
  7. 7. Finally, enjoy your refreshing Mangonada! Sip on it slowly to savor the vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Homemade Chamoy Sauce: In a blender, blend together 1 jar apricot jam, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup water, 1-3 tablespoons ancho or regular chili powder, 1-3 tablespoons honey, and a pinch of salt until combined. Taste and add more chili powder as desired. The sauce will keep in the fridge for 1 month.
