No matter this Mango Lemonade is a summer drink, it is so delicious, you’ll want to drink it all year round. Well, I drink it, and it’s December :).
I love to add mango in my breakfast smoothies, not only it is one of the best tropical fruit, it has also tons of vitamins. So I often buy them at my local grocery store. Last week I bought 2 of them, one was eaten the same day, and I totally forgot about the other one. Although it was a little overripe, I decided to make this delicious Mango Lemonade, the drink we’ve drunk the whole summer.
You can customize it to your liking – you can make it sweeter or more tart, you can even spike it with a splash of rum or vodka!
