Easy Mango Lemonade Recipe

This Mango Lemonade recipe is quick and easy to make in just 10 minutes—and it tastes like sunshine in a glass! Made with mango pulp, lemon juice, maple syrup and fresh mint leaves, this tropical drink is perfect for any season.

As a self-confessed mango lover, mango flavour is always my top pick—whether I’m out at a restaurant or making something special at home. If there’s Mango Lassi on the restaurant menu, I’m ordering it without a second thought! 

But at home is where the real mango magic happens. From 1-ingredient Mango Sorbet, Mango Salsa, Mango Limeade to Mango Ice Cream recipe(without an ice cream maker), Mango Yogurt Popsicles, and even festive Mango Ladoo and Mango Shrikhand—I find every excuse to enjoy mangoes in all forms, all year round.

Whether it’s fresh mangoes during peak season or canned mango pulp for convenience, I love them both!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Mango – I use Canned Mango Pulp to enjoy all year around. Easily available in grocery stores in the UK. Use fresh mangoes when in season, or opt  mango nectar, or mango juice for ease. 
• Fresh Lemon juice or Lime Juice - Freshly squeezed.
• Sweetener – Sugar, honey, maple syrup, or keto-friendly option. (If you are using Canned Mango Pulp, You may need less sweetener—it's often already sweetened. Taste and adjust)
• Fresh mint leaves – Optional for Garnishing
• Water & ice cubes – To dilute and chill.

Mango Lemonade Variations

• Mango Vodka Lemonade – Add a shot of vodka to your glass for a grown-up tropical cocktail.
• Strawberry Mango Lemonade – Blend in a few fresh or frozen strawberries with the mango for a sweet berry twist.
• Watermelon Mango Lemonade – Add chilled watermelon cubes or juice for a hydrating summer blend.
• Mango Cocktail – Turn your lemonade into a party drink with rum, sparkling water, or prosecco.

How to Make Easy Mango Lemonade Recipe?

Top Tips

• Use canned mango pulp– It’s my go to ingredient for bulk prep and guarantees smooth texture and rich flavor every time. No peeling or straining required!  I use it for making most mango recipes like vegan mango lassi, mango pancakes to mango cake.
• Taste before sweetening – Especially when using canned pulp or mango juice (they are pre-sweetened) You can always add more, but you can’t take it out.
• Always use fresh lemon or lime juice – Bottled juice can taste flat. 
• Chill everything before blending – My number #1 tip. By doing so there will be less melting ice and more mango flavor in your glass.
• Blend, then strain for fresh mangoes – for a smooth, juice-bar quality finish. 
• Mint makes it extra refreshing – Add crushed mint leaves just before serving for a cooling touch—especially lovely in warm weather.
• Make it ahead and store in the fridge, but stir before serving – The pulp settles at the bottom, so give it a good mix if it’s been sitting.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this chilled mango lemonade in mason jars or glasses. Add ice cubes, a sprig of mint, and lemon slices for a beautiful, party-ready tropical twist drink.

This recipe is perfect for:

• Garden parties, BBQs, Diwali and Holi celebrations and Everyday refreshment

Storage

• Store leftover lemonade in the fridge in a sealed pitcher for up to 2 days.
• Stir well before serving, as natural mango pulp may settle.
• You can also freeze the leftover lemonade in ice cubes tray and use it for later.
