Mango Chilli Lemonade

Mangoes!!! who doesn’t love mangoes…I just love mangoes and can have it any form either mango shakes, mango smoothies, ice cream etc.  Now a days I am trying new recipes with mangoes as I am having lots of mangoes lying in my fruit basket and wanted to use them but didn’t wanted to have regular shakes, ice creams as had enough of them. As summers are going on so wanted to try some drink or cooler out of mangoes because as my husband comes from work he wants something cool to drink like lemonade, cold coffee, lassi etc.  So wanted to surprise him by making him this drink as he loves mangoes and chillies. !!  What could be better option to mix both the ingredients and see the outcome. And guys it was a worth try.

This recipe came to my mind because long time back while traveling I read about this recipe in some magazine but didn’t remember exactly the ingredients. I just know that it had chillies.

So I told myself lets try this recipe with thai green chilli and see how it will turn. It turned really tasty and refreshing.  A perfect summer drink to beat the heat. !! It had a distinct flavor which I really liked. I m gonna make this drink all summer. It has a pleasant taste and also it is sweet and spicy. The chilli gives it a perfect kick to this drink. which makes it so palatable. It tastes really amazing. You gotta try this.!!
