How to make Dutch Bros Mangonada
The Dutch Bros Mangonada is a drink offered by Dutch Bros Coffee, a popular chain of drive-thru coffee stands in the United States. It’s inspired by the traditional Mexican mangonada, which typically consists of mango, lime juice, chamoy sauce, chili powder, and sometimes other ingredients like Tajin seasoning or diced fruit.

- 1/4 cup mango nectar (for that intense mango flavor)
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to your desired level of sweetness)
- Optional garnish: Tajin or chili lime seasoning, lime wedge, and a slice of mango
Instructions:
- In a blender, add the mango chunks, lime juice, and Tajin or chili lime seasoning. Give it a good blitz until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Next, add the ice cubes, pineapple juice, orange juice, mango nectar, and simple syrup to the blender. Blend it all up until it’s velvety and beautifully combined.
- Time to grab your favorite glass and rim it with Tajin or chili lime seasoning. This little touch will give your Mangonada that extra kick!

Ingredients Substitutes
You’re diving into the kitchen for some Dutch Bros Mangonada magic but just hit a snag with some of the ingredients? No sweat! I’ve got your back with a bunch of clever swaps that’ll keep your culinary adventure as thrilling as a plot twist in your favorite show.
- Mango Chunks: Can’t find fresh mangoes or they’re just not looking their A-game? No problemo! Grab some frozen mango chunks. They’re just as delicious and make your drink icier (in a good way).
- Lime Juice: Out of fresh limes? Lime juice in a squeeze bottle is your hero without a cape. You can also flirt with lemon juice for a different kind of citrusy zing that’ll make your tastebuds dance.
- Tajin or Chili Lime Seasoning: This one’s a bit unique, but who says you can’t improvise? Mix some chili powder with a pinch of salt and a whisper of lime zest. It won’t be an identical twin, but definitely a fabulous sibling in flavor.
- Pineapple Juice: If this isn’t among your stash, take a detour with more orange juice or mango nectar. Or hey, a road trip to the exotic with apricot or peach nectar!
- Orange Juice: No orange juice? No biggie. Try other citrus juices that are hanging out in your fridge. A bit of grapefruit juice can add a sassy tang, while lemonade sweetens the deal with a little tart kick.
- Mango Nectar: If mango nectar’s playing hard to get, double down on the fruit itself with extra mango chunks or embrace other nectars. Apricot nectar? Oh, you bet! It’s like mango nectar’s best buddy, delivering that lush, fruity vibe.
- Simple Syrup: If you’re out, don’t you frown. Dissolve equal parts sugar in hot water and cool it down. Or, let’s get wild with agave syrup, honey, or even maple syrup for a cozy sweetness that hugs your soul.
- For Garnishing: The garnish plays peek-a-boo anyway, so if you miss the Tajin, chili lime seasoning, or even that sliver of mango, you’re still in for a treat. A sprig of mint or a sprinkle of your homemade Tajin swap can dress up your drink for the party.
