Mango, mint, ginger and lime comes together in this refreshing Mango Margarita, that will be a favorite for your Cinco de Mayo and summer parties!
Mango always have a special place in my heart. Growing up in India, summer holidays meant eating lots of mangoes and jackfruit! Even though the mangoes you get here in the US are not anywhere close to the delicious fragrant sweet mangoes in India, we have to make do with it and make the best of it. That said, of all the mangoes you get here, the Ataulfo ones from Costco are the best and a favorite in our household.
Talking about all the mango love, we not only love eating mangoes as it is, but love making desserts, drinks and even curries and pickles with it. Here are some of our favorite and some of the best mango recipes:
- Mango Kesari – Mango and Semolina Pudding
- Mango Fool / Mango Parfait with Cardamom Whipped Cream
- Vegan Mango Ice Cream with Pistachios
- Vanilla Mango Lassi Protein Shake
- Mango Fizzy Cocktail
- Mango Lassi Popsicles
- Mambazha Pachadi – Ripe Mangoes in a Lightly Spiced Coconut Sauce
- Mambazha Pulisseri – Sweet and Sour Mango Curry
- Kerala Mango Pickle
