When is a Mango Ripe?

Using ripe mangoes in this recipe makes all of the difference in getting the incredibly bright taste. You can recognize ripe mangoes by their feel. When you feel it, it will give slightly indicating that it has soft flesh inside it. This is what you are looking for. For this particular fruit punch recipe, I used the Tommy Atkins mango variety. You’ll recognize them in store by their dark red blush that often covers much of the fruit with green and orange-yellow accents. To see what mangoes are in season throughout the year, visit here.

Ingredients

• Cubed Fresh Mango: Fresh mango cubes bring a burst of tropical sweetness and a velvety texture. Make sure to pick ripe mangos for that perfect punch of flavor.
• Pineapple Juice: Pineapple juice adds a tangy twist and helps create a smooth, fruity blend.
• Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice: Freshness is key. Ditch the store-bought stuff and squeeze those oranges yourself.
• Lemon Lime Soda: It introduces a bubbly personality, adding a refreshing and slightly tart element to balance out the sweetness.
• Granulated Sugar: It’s here to make sure everything is just sweet enough without overpowering.

How to Make Mango Citrus Punch

• Blend the Fruits: Toss your fresh mango chunks, pineapple juice, and orange juice into a blender. Whizz it up until everything’s silky smooth.
• Combine and Stir: Grab a pitcher and pour in your mango mixture. Now, add in the fizzy lemon-lime soda and the granulated sugar. Give it all a good stir until the sugar is totally dissolved.
• Chill and Serve:Serve your punch over a glass filled with ice to keep things cool and refreshing.
• Sweetness Check: Here’s a pro tip – the amount of sugar you need depends on your mango’s ripeness.

How to Store

Store the punch in a sealed pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Give it a good stir before serving again, as ingredients may settle at the bottom.
