Equipment

1 blender

Ingredients

2 cups frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup mango nectar
1 cup shaved or crushed ice
1/4 cup chamoy sauce plus extra for drizzling
Chile-lime seasoning or Tajín for rimming the cup
Tamarind candy sticks or taffy ribbons for garnish
Lime wedges optional

Instructions

Prepare the cups:
Tilt your serving cups and drizzle chamoy sauce along the inside walls by slowly rotating the cup to create streaks. Then dip the rim of each cup into chile-lime seasoning or Tajín to coat the edge.
Blend the mango base:
In a blender, combine frozen mango chunks, mango nectar, and shaved ice. Blend until smooth and sorbet-like.
Assemble the mangonada:
Pour half of the mango mixture into each prepared cup. Drizzle additional chamoy sauce on top of the mango puree. Fill the rest of the cup with the remaining mango mixture.
Garnish and serve:
Place a tamarind candy stick or your favorite candy garnish in the drink. Add a lime wedge on the side if desired. Serve immediately with a wide straw.

Notes

Adjust the amount of chamoy and chili-lime seasoning to suit your preferred spice level.
Tamarind candy sticks add an authentic touch but can be substituted with other candies like taffy ribbons.
For a more tart flavor, add a splash of fresh lime juice into the blender.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
