Shaken Coconut Mango Lemonade
Super refreshing coconut mango lemonade made with a few simple ingredients to keep you cool all summer long.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice from 6-8 lemons (225 ml)
- 1 cup mango puree from 2-3 mangoes (225 ml)
- 1 cup simple syrup 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar (225 ml)
- Pinch salt
- 2 cups cold water 500 ml
- Ice
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk from a carton not canned, chilled (225 ml)
Instructions
- Squeeze the lemons to make juice, strain if you don’t want pulp and add to a pitcher
- Peel and cut the mango slices into chunks and blend until smooth, strain then add to the pitcher.
- Make the simple syrup - combine the sugar and water in a sauce pan and heat until the sugar is dissolved then simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool. Add this to the pitcher with the salt and then top with 2 cups cold water. Stir well and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve fill a cocktail shaker with ice and fill two thirds of the way with lemonade (depends on size of your shaker) , add ¼ cup of the coconut milk, shake really well then pour into a tall glass. I do this for each glass of lemonade.
- Serve.
Notes
The servings depend on the size glasses you use. I used highball glasses and got 4 lemonades plus a little extra
The recipe can be multiplied easily for a larger pitcher for a party. Just don’t add the coconut milk until ready to serve.
