Mango Coffee is one of my best fruity espresso drinks. It combines two beloved flavors into one drink: mango and coffee. This unique pairing creates a refreshing twist for summer days.

Mango coffee recipe
Mango coffee is a unique beverage that combines the rich, bold flavor of coffee with the sweet, tangy taste of mango. It creates a refreshing and tropical twist on traditional coffee. The fruity sweetness of mango balances the slightly bitter, robust taste of coffee.
This unique coffee recipe starts with a smooth mango mixture at the bottom. The espresso is carefully poured to create a beautiful gradient effect. It’s then finished with a topping of frothed milk.
Mango coffee pairs well with tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya, and banana, as well as nuts like pistachios and almonds. Spicy snacks, grilled chicken and fish, or tacos also balance its sweetness.
For desserts, try coconut macaroons, mango mousse, or dark chocolate. Light cakes, cheese platters, and coffee pastries like biscotti complete the pairing.
There are several ways to make this drink, but I will stick to the simple one. Here’s how to make the Mango Coffee:

Nutrition
Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe mango
- 40 ml espresso
- 50 ml simple syrup
- 100 ml water
- 150 ml whole milk
- Shaved ice
Instructions
- In a blender, combine mango cubes, simple syrup, and water. Blend until smooth.
- Pour 100-150 ml of whole milk into a milk frother. Froth for 1-2 minutes until foam forms. If you don’t have a milk frother machine, you can froth milk manually. (In the Note part)
- Pour the mango blend into a glass until halfway full. Add a thin layer of shaved ice on top of the mango blend. Pour espresso over the back of a spoon to create a gradient effect in the glass.
- Spoon the foam gently onto the drink.
Notes
- Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk vigorously with a whisk or a handheld electric mixer until frothy. This process may take 1-2 minutes.
- Once frothy, use as directed in the recipe by gently spooning the frothed milk onto your drink.
