How to Make Creamy Pineapple Mango Lemonade Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Peel and dice the pineapple and mangoes. Reserve about ⅓ cup of pineapple chunks and a few mango pieces for garnishing the finished drinks.
Step 2: Blend the Fruit Base
Add the diced pineapple, diced mangoes, sweetened condensed milk, and a small splash of water to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Strain for a Smooth Texture
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher. This step removes any remaining fibers and creates an extra silky drink.
Step 4: Combine the Lemonade
Transfer the fruit puree to a large pitcher. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water. Stir thoroughly until everything is fully incorporated.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust
Taste the lemonade and adjust as needed. Add extra lemon juice if you'd like more tartness, or a little sweetener if your fruit isn't especially ripe.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the lemonade over the ice and top with the reserved pineapple and mango chunks. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint before serving.
