Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Mango Puree: Fresh or canned mango puree works well; choose ripe mangoes for the best flavor.
• Chamoy Sauce: This spicy-sour sauce adds depth; look for brands with natural ingredients.
• Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice brightens up the mocktail; avoid bottled versions if possible.
• Ice Cubes: Use crushed ice for an icy texture that enhances the refreshing experience.
• Tamarind Candy Strips: These add extra sweetness and a bit of chewiness; they’re optional but fun!
• Chili Powder (optional): For those who love heat, sprinkle some chili powder on top for an extra kick.

Let’s Make it Together

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients. Slice fresh mangos if you’re using them instead of canned puree. Gather your ice cubes and lime juice as well.

Create the Mango Base: In a blender, combine mango puree, lime juice, and half of your chamoy sauce until smooth. This should take about 30 seconds to blend thoroughly.

Add Ice and Blend Again: Toss in your ice cubes into the blender. Blitz everything together until you achieve a slushy consistency—this should take another 20-30 seconds.

Layer Your Creation: Grab your serving glasses and drizzle some chamoy sauce along the insides before pouring in your mango mixture. This creates beautiful layers and adds flavor.

Garnish Like A Pro!: Top off each glass with extra chamoy, chili powder if using, and tamarind candy strips for garnish. This step gives your mocktail its stunning visual appeal!
