Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mango
Start by peeling and chopping the ripe mango into small pieces. Fresh mango is best, but frozen mango chunks can also work well if you’re in a hurry.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the chopped mango, yogurt, milk, honey, ground cardamom (if using), and ice cubes. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
Step 3: Chill and Serve
If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Once blended, let the cocktail sit for about 5 minutes to chill.
Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy
Pour the Frozen Mango Lassi Cocktail into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Variations

Alcoholic Version: For an adult twist, add 1-2 ounces of rum or vodka to the blender.
