Notes
- Chill Ingredients Thoroughly: Cold components ensure a more refreshing and instantly enjoyable drink without diluting the flavor intensity.
- Strain for Smoothness: Pass mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove stringy fibers, guaranteeing a silky-smooth texture.
- Adjust Sweetness Carefully: Taste and incrementally add sugar syrup to balance the tartness of lemons and natural mango sweetness.
- Garnish Strategically: Fresh mint and citrus slices not only enhance visual appeal but also contribute subtle aromatic layers to the beverage.
