This was selected by Shirl for last Pick a Chef and then by me this time around. I can well understand why. It is a delciious drink with just the right mixture of tart and sweet. I did use fresh lime juice and Splenda in place of the sugar. Put everything in the Vita-Mix and blended with some ice cubes for a refreshing summer drink.

We realy enjoyed this drink. Very refreshing in this heat and with lovely contrasting flavours. sweet from the mango and after you drink you get a tart after tast from the lemon. I made 2 minor changes, I only used 1 cup of sugar and it was still more then sweet and instead of limes I used lemons because its very hard to come by limes here. I got to cups of puree from 1 large mango.

This was delicious. I used sparkling mineral water instead of plain water and used only 1 cup of sugar. It was sweet enough, next time I will try 3/4 cup of sugar.

Very nice sweet tropical drink. I should have used advice of other posts and used less sugar or splenda as it is a bit sweet for my taste. It would also be great as an alcoholic drink with a bit of vodka or maybe rum...

Yummy and tropical! I only had 1 1/2 cups of mango on hand so I substituted a half cup of strawberries. Then I thought it was a little too sweet, so I added another 1/4 cup of lime juice. Delicious and packed with vitamins!

A really tropical and refreshing lemonade. I used two very ripe mangoes for the puree and I didn't have enough lime juice for 1/2 c so I juiced an orange to make up the difference. My lemonade was quite orange in color, as compared to PaulaG's picture, which I am positive came from the fact of the very ripe mangoes. My lemonade was quite sweet, not too tart at all, like your typical lemonade but still delicious. I didn't add the full amount of sugar either... just a little over a 1/2 c. It turned out to be more like a tropical punch drink but still so refreshing. Next time, I am going to try it with a mango that isn't so ripe to see if it's more tart. Thanks for sharing a great drink!

Thanks so much for sharing Cricket....a new family favourite... We really enjoyed this drink, sweet, tart and tangy...all at once. I added 3/4 cup of sugar and used 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/2 cup of lime juice. It was very refreshing.

This is easy and very good indeed. Excellent for those overripe mangoes.

This was really good, but it was too sweet and mango-ey (and I like sweet things!). After I added more lemon juice it was 5 stars I also used canned Mango Puree, to make things easier (can be found at indian grocery stores). Thanks for the great recipe!
