Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks (about 225 grams)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (240 ml)
- 2 cups pineapple soda (480 ml), chilled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (15 ml)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
- A few sprigs of mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Place frozen mango chunks and full-fat coconut milk into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add a splash of coconut milk if too thick.
- Add fresh lime juice and optional maple syrup or agave nectar to the blender. Blend briefly to combine.
- Ensure pineapple soda is well chilled before serving.
- Pour about ½ cup (120 ml) of the mango-coconut blend into each glass.
- Slowly top each glass with 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled pineapple soda. Stir lightly if desired.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for best flavor and creaminess. Avoid ultra-light coconut milk for a creamy texture. Chill pineapple soda and mango base well to maintain fizz. Add soda slowly over the mango base to keep bubbles alive. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning.
