Yummy Mexican fruit drink made with Chamoy sauce, mangos, lime juice, and Tajin seasoning and decorated with a tamarind straw.
When the weather gets hot, a refreshing treat is in order. For those who want a little spice to battle the heat, there’s the Mangonada. Swirls of bright red, topped with chunks of juicy mango, the Mangonada, also known as Mangoneada or Chamango,is a summertime favorite in Mexican communities.
One of the key ingredients in the Mangonada is chamoy, which is a traditional Mexican condiment that is typically served as a dip for fresh fruit but is the perfect addition to the Mangonada to balance the sweetness of the mango.
What is Chamoy?
Chamoy is a condiment made of fruit (usually apricot, plums, or mango), dried chiles, and lime juice. Chamoy is a condiment found all over Mexico, topping fruit, drizzled on nachos, and mixed into cocktails.Depending on your location, you can find TajÃn, chamoy, and tamarind straws — their sour, chewy coating adds an extra tickle of tartness — at supermarkets or Latin American grocers; all three are available online.
TajÃn ingredients are ground dried chile peppers (a blend of chiles de árbol, guajillo, and pasilla), dehydrated lime, and sea salt.
Mango chunks, nectar, sugar, lime juice, and ice in the blender.
Blend till smooth. Drizzle Chamoy into a glass add mango mixture halfway and add more Chamoy.
Then fill to top add mango chunks, add a teaspoon of Chamoy, and sprinkle with Tajin.
