Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade summer drink combining ripe strawberries, mango, fresh lime juice, and mint for a refreshing and fruity cooler perfect to beat the heat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (about 150 g)
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped (about 1 ½ cups or 225 g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 30 ml)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, adjust to taste
  • 1 cup cold water or sparkling water (240 ml)
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup ice cubes (about 240 g), crushed or whole

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit by rinsing strawberries and removing stems. Peel, pit, and chop the mango into chunks.
  2. Roll the lime on the counter, slice, and squeeze out about 2 tablespoons of juice, removing any seeds.
  3. In a blender, combine strawberries, mango chunks, lime juice, honey or agave syrup, and cold or sparkling water. Add mint leaves and ice cubes.
  4. Blend on high until smooth and frothy. If blender struggles, pulse ice first then blend the rest.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or texture by adding more honey/agave or water as needed. Add more ice for colder drink if desired.
  6. Optionally strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer for a silky smooth texture.
  7. Serve immediately in tall glasses over extra ice cubes, garnished with fresh mint or a slice of strawberry or lime.

Notes

Use ripe fruit for best flavor. Frozen mango works well but frozen strawberries may water down the flavor. For a dairy-free twist, substitute water with coconut water. Adjust sweetness with honey, agave, or maple syrup. Pulse ice first if blender is less powerful. Serve in chilled glasses for best experience. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 24 hours; add ice before serving.
