For someone who has a blog focused on sweets and desserts, I have a major sour tooth. When given a choice, I would pick sour and tart over sweet. Give me sour candies, sour gummies, and tart drinks any day and I would happily accept. The heat of the past couple of days has got me craving something tart and refreshing. This mango mint limeade slush passes all my requirements. The sweet mango, cooling mint, and hydrating coconut water balances out the otherwise super tart lime juice. When blended together, a delicious drink ensues. And if you happen to wanna party…well, rum or vodka is a perfect and welcome addition to this drink. When it comes to blended drinks, I hate ice. Ice eventually melts and dilutes the drink. For this slush, I used frozen mango to give the drink that nice texture. (Similar to when I make blended coffee drinks at home, I use frozen coffee cubes.) You could also try freezing coconut water in ice cube trays for additional slushy-ness. Frozen Mint Limeade I’m totally in love with this mango mint limeade because it reminds me of sour green mangos. Whenever I would visit the Philippines, I would eat my weight in green mangos. I like to slice them like apples and dip them in a rock sea salt and chili powder mixture. It makes my mouth water just thinking about that snack. The lime juice can be quite assertive. If your mango is not very sweet, you can adjust the flavor with simple syrup, agave, or honey. A splash of mango juice or pineapple juice can also offset the tart lime juice.

Karen @ The Food Charlatan says: August 19, 2014 I’m so glad I’m not the only ice hater out there Maryanne! Frozen fruit ftw. Love the mint in this! I’ve never had a green mango, it sounds awesome. Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: August 22, 2014 Thanks Karen! I’ll only add ice to my drink if I’m drinking water! lol

Sarah @ SnixyKitchen says: August 20, 2014 Lucas is the blended drink master in our house and he’d high five your dislike of ice in blended drinks. He’s also got a huge tart tooth (that’s a thing right?) – sending this recipe his way! Reply
Nancy says: August 20, 2014 Years ago I started making smoothies & similar goodies – no recipes, just blended stuff together that sounded good. My thinking was to freeze friut I had on hand (especially bananas), or use purchased frozen fruit. It never even occurred to me to use ice, and I still can’t believe people use ice in frozen treats; not only does it water them down, it ruins the texture as well! Reply
Maryanne Cabrera says: August 22, 2014 I love freezing bananas because it adds a nice creamy texture to smoothies. I totally agree! Ice/water ruins the texture of blended drinks!
