A visually stunning and refreshing layered drink combining creamy coconut milk and bright mango puree, perfect for summer gatherings or a laid-back treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 300g)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (240 ml)
  • 1 cup cold water or sparkling water (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: a few drops vanilla extract
  • Optional: almond milk as a substitute for coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango puree: Add the chopped ripe mangoes, honey (or your chosen sweetener), and fresh lime juice to the blender. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and vibrant. Set aside.
  2. Chill the coconut milk: Shake the can well and pour 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk into a mixing bowl. Add the cold water or sparkling water and stir gently to combine. Chill this mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare your glasses: Fill tall glasses halfway with ice cubes to chill and help with layering.
  4. Pour the coconut base: Slowly pour the chilled coconut milk mixture over the ice. The creamy white layer should settle at the bottom.
  5. Layer the mango puree: Using a spoon or ladle, gently pour the mango puree over the back of the spoon onto the coconut layer. Pour slowly to keep the layers separate and create the ombre effect.
  6. Garnish and serve: Add a sprig of fresh mint or a thin mango slice on the rim for extra flair. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

Chill the coconut milk mixture and mango puree before layering to keep layers distinct. Pour mango puree slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain separation. If mango puree is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to loosen it. Use plenty of ice cubes to act as barriers between layers.
