Mango Caipirinha Recipe Made with Fresh Mango
Mix this Mango Caipirinha Recipe at home with fresh mango, lime, sugar, and cachaça for a bright and refreshing drink.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mango puree fresh ripe mango or thawed frozen mango blended smooth
- 4 thick wedges of lime
- 2 teaspoons sugar adjust to taste
- 2 ounces cachaça
- Ice enough to fill the glass
- Mint garnish optional but looks and tastes great
Instructions
Muddle The Lime And Sugar
- Set your glass on the counter. Add the lime wedges and sugar.
- Use a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon and press gently. Don’t crush the lime into pulp—just release the lime juice and oils so your drink gets a fresh citrus taste.
Add The Mango Puree
- Scoop in the mango puree. I like using fresh mango because the flavor feels real and smooth. You can taste the sweetness right away when you stir it with the lime.
Pour In The Cachaça
- Measure out 2 ounces of cachaça and pour it into the glass.
- Give it a quick stir so the lime, sugar, mango, and alcohol come together.
Add Ice
- Fill the glass all the way up with ice. The cold temperature brings the drink together.
Stir And Finish
- Stir again from the bottom of the glass.
- Garnish with a mint leaf or a small slice of mango on the rim.Take a sip and adjust the sweetness or lime intensity if you want.
