Ripe mango, bright lime juice, and a touch of sugar come together in this refreshing drink that tastes like pure sunshine in a glass. It's blended smooth and then strained through a fine-mesh sieve, giving you a silky, vibrant agua fresca with none of the pulpy texture. The balance of sweet mango and tart lime is completely adjustable — just taste and tweak until it's exactly right for you. Since every ingredient here is naturally simple and whole, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything hiding in a packet. It's the kind of drink that works just as well at a backyard cookout as it does on a quiet afternoon when you need something cold and satisfying. Serve it over ice with a wedge of lime on the rim and it looks as good as it tastes.
