I love fresh squeezed lemonade year round. Something about making it at home is that much more refreshing and it's really easy to do. Lemons, sugar, water a teeny pinch of salt, ice. That's it. 

When we went to Shake Shack two years ago for treat they had a coconut mango lemonade as their lemonade special that month.

I LOVED it and wanted to recreate it for you all. Especially since I haven't seen it there since. I love their seasonal lemonades so much.

How do you make coconut mango lemonade?

This coconut mango lemonade recipe starts off with fresh squeezed lemons, pureed and strained mangoes, simple syrup.

I start by juicing the lemons first and add those to the pitcher with simple syrup, a pinch of salt and water. Next I add the mango puree, stir well and chill the mixture. 

I strain the mango puree to get any extra fibers out. You can strain the lemon juice as well to remove any pulp. Up to you. 

 I taste the mango lemonade and see if it needs any more sweetener before moving on to the next step. I take a cocktail shaker and fill with ice and add in the chilled mango lemonade, but not all the way to the top, I then add in coconut milk.

I use the carton kind this time instead of canned, since it is not as thick. I love using Pacific Foods and So Delicious brands. 

This mixture then gets shaken really well then poured into a glass, ice and all. Repeat for each glass of lemonade. 

Add a straw and enjoy. I make a large pitcher of this lemonade to have on hand when the craving strikes, or when its super crazy hot out and I need to cool off.

Which is daily here during the Vegas summer. Especially this summer. Triple digits for weeks on end means lots and lot sand lots of drinks on ice. And lots and lots of ice. 

You can also make these into popsicles. Strain the shaken mixture without ice into popsicle molds and freeze. 

I love mango season in the summertime. We eat them as is, chop up in fruit salads, or for yogurt bowls. I make a lot of smoothies with them too as well as add in to salsas for tacos or salads. Recipe possibilities with mango really are endless.

A few more notes about this shaken coconut mango lemonade recipe first:

• Fresh squeeze your own lemons for this. It makes it so much better. Don't use store bought lemonade it will already have plenty of sugar.
• If you do want to make this with store bought lemonade if short on time, (trust me fresh squeezed is better) omit the simple syrup.
• The mango puree is thick so I strain it to remove some of the fiber, but it makes the lemonade so good. You could use store bought mango nectar if mangoes aren't in season. Use really ripce mangoes
• Pinch of salt. Always to balance the tart and sweet. 
• Coconut milk. I use unsweetened from the carton. It mixes in much better when shaking the lemonade than canned. I love Pacific Foods and So Delicious. 
• Pebble ice. I love it. I get bags of ice from Sonic. There are ice machines you can get for the home that are either counter top or stand alone but they can get pretty pricey. I love my pebble ice so I go with sonic. 
• This can be made in much larger batches for a party. Just don't add in the coconut milk until ready to serve.
