Summer would be so empty and lifeless without mangoes. Whether you like them raw or ripe, cooked or uncooked, juiced or sliced, mangoes breath back life into us, as the sweltering heat saps our energy. And, this Summer Mango Cooler does the job perfectly well. Sharp, tangy notes of raw mango are mellowed with sugar and tinged with tantalizing hints of cardamom and saffron, making this an ever-popular drink with kids and adults alike. Serve chilled for the best experience.
