Actually, had to stop myself from eating the entire thing whilst slicing it into the blender. First of the season and sooooo good. I love mangoes. Plus which, with the lime and natural acidity of a pineapple, just my personal opinion, mango is much better in this drink. A really delicious concoction, garnished with kaffir lime leaves and nasturtium flower. Only one other slight change to the recipe - no straining. The little bits of fruit were a plus here. Really. It's not pure laziness, as this was not a fibrous fruit.
I enjoyed mine while trying to find a Mexican recipe that would use ingredients we have on hand. Not always an easy thing. Do visit I Heart Cooking Clubs and see all the lovely drinks being served up this week from Curtis Stone, our current chef in residence.

The burst of color in your picture is so enticing. The mango is so sweet this season. I used mangoes as well for my post. Tough to pass them up!
Agree about juices with lots of pulp and fiber. I love biting into them and I usually don't strain them too. :D
My lack of straining the pulp is mostly due to laziness but you are right, with a gorgeous non-pulpy mango like that, there is truly every reason to leave it unstrained. Like you, I have a hard time getting ripe mangoes into dishes without just wanting to enjoy them on their way to the recipe. ;-) Love your gorgeous tropical presentation too Claudia!
I love your comment about wanting to eat the fruit while you were slicing it! It's so hard to resist when you have a beauty like that. I'm glad you managed to make the drink - it's gorgeous.
Lucky you to have such a beautiful mango! And in Queensland I never would have strained them either - beautiful flesh without much fibre - but the ones we get imported to England just don't compare.
I agree with you on the fibre, and again I am jealous about the mango
Beautiful mangoes everywhere, I am so jealous.
Most of the time when I buy mangoes to make a dessert recipe, they would somehow always ended up as the dessert itself! We love mangoes too.
Your Mango Margarita looks wonderful!
I love mangoes too. I will have to try this one.
So very pretty with the flower garnish! A perfect drink to inspire you while looking through a cookbook:)
