How to Make Mango Juice

The Sugar Syrup

Start the Simple Syrup – Combine water, sugar, and mint leaves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for one minute. Remove from the heat and let syrup steep for about 30 minutes. (Photos 1-2)

The Mango Juice

Peel and Slice Mango – Slice the sides along the mango seed. Cut the mango flesh in a grid-like pattern without going through the mango skin. Detach the flesh from the skin with a large spoon and scoop the cubes out. For more tips on doing this step, see my guide on how to cut a mango. (Photos 3-5)Puree – Transfer the mango flesh and water to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. (Photos 6-8)Finishing Touches – Pour the mango juice into a jar. Next, add the sugar syrup to taste. This step is optional, and the amount of sugar syrup you use is entirely up to you. Stir to combine.Serve with ice cubes and garnish with mint leaves.

Tips and Tricks

Make-Ahead Instructions

Mango juice stays fresh in the fridge for 3-5 days, so you can make it a few days in advance if you’d like. You can even freeze mango juice. It will keep good for three months in the freezer, so technically, you can make it way in advance if you’d like.

Serving and Storage Instructions

Serve mango juice cold! Add a few cubes of ice, give the glass a stir, and serve it up right away. Store mango juice in a pitcher or jar with a lid in the fridge. You can freeze mango juice in any airtight container. I like to use ziplock bags personally. When you are ready to use frozen mango juice, simply take it out of the freezer the night before. Once it’s thawed, you can serve it immediately.

What Goes With Mango Juice

Mango juice goes well with so many recipes. I like to pair it with Caribbean food myself, such as Jamaican jerk chicken or Jamaican rice and peas. It also goes well with coconut shrimp or anything spicy. Try it with a plate of kelewele (spicy fried plantains) or Poulet DG, and you’ll see what I mean. 👌
