Oh yes, summer is here, and with it the cravings for delicious cold drinks! How about trying a delicious mangonada? it is a very traditional Mexican summer drink, and a great way to use Chamoy.
When it is summertime in Mexico, you know it is time for mangonadas! this traditional drink is also known as chamoyada, chamangos, diablitos, so you can say that this is a delicious recipe for chamoyada, chamango or diablito!
What is a mangonada?
It is basically iced mango with chamoy! traditionally, a lot of people use tajin to make it a little bit more spicy and tangy.
Since this drink has been created informally, and probably at the same time in many places around Mexico, it has been named differently (again chamoyada, chamangos, diablitos), but it is essentially the same drink!
I personally like to try it only with mango juice, because with iced mango you end with an -almost- diabetic comma afterward! and let’s not talk about what happens when you combine it with tequila or mezcal!
Anyway… if you want to use it in your summer party, trust me, everyone will love it and will be hooked for life!
It is also very common to use tamarind pulp for the recipe, or garnish it with tamarind! I did not have anything handy, so I used some a pulparindo!
We hope you like this recipe, it is:
- Sweet, summery, delicious!
