Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks
- ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice (about 3–4 large lemons)
- 1 cup (240ml) cold water
- 2 tablespoons (30g) granulated sugar or honey (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons Tajín seasoning for drizzling (plus more for rimming glasses)
- 1 cup (about 150g) ice cubes
Instructions
- Roll each lemon on the counter firmly to loosen juices. Cut and juice them until you have ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice. Remove seeds. (Time: 5 minutes)
- In your blender, combine 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks, ½ cup (120ml) lemon juice, 1 cup (240ml) cold water, and 2 tablespoons (30g) sugar or honey. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth but still thick. If your blender struggles, pulse in 20-second bursts and stir between.
- Add 1 cup (about 150g) ice cubes to the blender and pulse 10-15 times until the mixture is slushy and frothy. Watch the texture—if it gets too watery, stop blending.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sugar, honey, or water as needed. Blend briefly to mix.
- Moisten rims of serving glasses with a lemon wedge and dip into a shallow plate of Tajín to create a spicy-salty crust.
- Pour the slushie into the glasses. Using a small spoon or squeeze bottle, gently drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of Tajín over the top of each drink.
- Serve immediately. Optionally garnish with a lemon wheel or fresh mint.
Notes
Use frozen mango chunks for the best icy texture without watering down the flavor. Pulse blending in short bursts if using a standard blender. Pre-chill glasses for 10 minutes to keep the slushie colder longer. Tajín drizzle should be added just before serving to maintain its fresh, zesty flavor. Adjust water and sweetener to achieve desired thickness and sweetness.
