Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper carefully to control the level of spiciness.
  • Agave syrup can be substituted with honey or simple syrup if desired.
  • For a more intense mango flavor, use ripe fresh mangoes to make the puree.
  • You can also add sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy twist.
  • Serve immediately after garnish to keep the fresh and vibrant taste.
