This mango lemonade is pure summertime bliss in a glass. It’s refreshing, tropical, and wonderfully juicy thanks to real blended mangoes. You can make it in just minutes, and it’s the perfect drink to serve at your next backyard BBQ or lazy afternoon on the patio.
This mango lemonade hits that sweet spot between bright citrus and ripe mango, and it’s exactly what I reach for on a hot afternoon or a warm summer evening. Blending fresh mango straight into the lemonade gives it a silky-smooth texture and a slightly thicker, almost luxurious mouthfeel that feels extra refreshing. If fresh mango isn’t available, frozen and thawed mango works beautifully, too.
I keep this recipe simple with just four ingredients. Ripe mangoes are blended into a smooth purée for bold, sunny flavor, then mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice for that classic tart lemonade bite. A quick honey simple syrup adds gentle sweetness and a bit of depth, while water brings everything into balance, keeping the flavors bright and sip-able rather than heavy.
It comes together in minutes, tastes far more special than the effort suggests, and is one of those drinks that disappears fast once it hits the table. This is summer lemonade with a tropical twist, and I make it on repeat all season long.

Mango lemonade twists
Enjoy the mango lemonade as is, or you can try some of these add-ins for a twist!
- Fizz: You can easily make this a fizzy mango lemonade by substituting sparkling water for still water.
- Pineapple: for a super tropical twist, blend in some pineapple to complement the mangoes and lemon juice.
- Alcohol: Easily turn this mango lemonade into a punch or cocktail by adding vodka or rum.
- Lime: If you fancy a citrusy punch, you can add fresh lime juice or slices of lime to garnish the glass. It will turn it into a mango limeade!
