This Mangonada recipe (also known as Chamoyada or Chamango) is a sweet, frozen mango drink with a tangy, spicy swirl of chamoy, and a sprinkling of chile-lime seasoning.
Pour a little chamoy and tajin into two small saucers. Dip the rims of the glasses first into the chamoy and then into the tajin.
In a blender, combine the frozen mango chunks, mango nectar or juice, lime juice, sugar, and ice. Blend until smooth. It will have the consistency between a smoothie and a sorbet.
Swirl some chamoy on the insides of two 16oz glasses.
Pour the mango mixture into the glasses.
Top with chopped mango, a drizzle of chamoy, and a sprinkle of tajin.
Serve with a tamarind straw.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for the sweetest mango flavor.
Fresh mangoes or frozen mango chunks can be used for the mango smoothie. If using fresh mango, cut into chunks and freeze before blending for an icy slushie.
Have your glasses rimmed and mango topping chopped and ready before blending so the drink doesn’t melt.
For even more tangy flavor, add a layer or two of chamoy in the middle of the drink as you pour in the mango mixture.
