Ingredients for Caribbean Passion Mango Juice
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 cup passion fruit juice
- 2 cups of water
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Bitters (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to making this delicious Caribbean-inspired juice:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by washing, peeling, and chopping your mangoes. Make sure they’re ripe for the best flavor.
If using fresh passion fruits, cut them in half, scoop out the pulp, and strain to remove seeds for a smoother juice. Alternatively, store-bought passion fruit juice works well.
2. Blend It All
In a blender, combine the chopped mango, passion fruit juice, water, sugar, and Angostura bitters.
Add in the ice cubes for a chilled, refreshing consistency.
Blend everything until smooth, ensuring no chunks remain.
3. Adjust the Sweetness and Texture
Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness if needed. For a richer texture, add more mango; for a thinner consistency, add a bit more orange or pineapple juice.
4. Serve and Garnish
Pour your Caribbean Passion Mango Juice into a glass.
Garnish with a few mint leaves or a slice of lime for an extra touch of tropical flavor.
Tips for the Perfect Caribbean Mango Passion Juice
- Use Ripe Mangoes: Mangoes that are ripe add the best sweetness and smooth texture.
- Fresh vs. Store-Bought Passion Fruit Juice: If you can’t find fresh passion fruits, store-bought juice is a good substitute. Just check that it’s 100% juice for the best flavor.
- Optional Add-Ins: For a slightly spiced version, add a pinch of ginger or cayenne pepper. Both pair well with tropical fruits!
- Experiment with Fruits: Feel free to throw in a few pieces of banana or papaya to deepen the tropical flavors.
