As soon as Spring hits and it starts to warm up, it’s like I can taste summer. The smell and taste of the barbecue and an ice cold lemonade are two sure signs that summer is on it’s way. It’s time to pull out the barbecues, floppy hats and sunblock!
I love a lemonade made from scratch, especially flavored lemonades. I’ve made strawberry lemonade various times but found a recipe for a sparkling mango lemonade and decided to give it a go. After a few alterations, it was definitely a winner. My 6 year old couldn’t get enough and now more than ever, I’m ready for summer! I can’t wait to make this when it’s 90 degrees outside and I’m able to sit outside soaking in the sun with an ice cold glass of mango lemonade in hand.
- 1 mango, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup sugar
- 1¾ cup water
- 1 liter chilled club soda
- 5-6 lemons, juiced
- Ice
- In a medium sauce pan, combine mango, sugar and water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour mango syrup into blender and blend until smooth
- Add lemon juice and combine well
- Refrigerate lemon/mango syrup for 1-2 hours or until cooled
- Once syrup is cooled, add to a picture along with 1 liter of club soda
- Add ice as desired and serve.
Do you like flavored lemonades and if so what is your favorite kind?
I look forward to drinking lemonade in the summer months! This sounds like a delicious recipe!
I dont think I have ever bought a mango!
Oh yum, I absolutely love mango but have never thought to put it in lemonade. I’ll have to give this a try soon!
