  3. Pour into tall glasses, filling each about 3/4 full.
  4. Top each glass with a scoop of ice cream.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips for Success:

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Alphonso or Ataulfo for best flavor.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to avoid dilution with too much ice.
  • Add soda slowly to avoid overflowing.
  • Blend mango first if using frozen chunks to ensure a smooth texture.
  • For a creamier version, substitute coconut milk with coconut ice cream + a splash of milk.

๐Ÿ‘ Recommendations:

  • Best served: as a summer dessert, poolside treat, or party specialty.
  • Pair with light snacks like coconut cookies or fruit skewers.
  • Serve in a mason jar or tall clear glass for visual appeal.
