Why This Tropical Drink is a Must-Make

Key Ingredients for Tropical Creaminess
The quality of your mango puree is the most important factor in this simple recipe.
Mango Puree: Use a homemade or store-bought mango puree. Since it forms the base of the drink, its thickness and flavor are vital.
Yakult: Use the standard small bottle of Yakult. Alternatively, you can use other similar probiotic drinks, but Yakult provides the signature tangy flavor that balances the mango.
Milk: Cold milk is essential for creating the creamy texture and helping the layers settle. Whole milk provides the best color contrast, but any milk works well.
Garnish: Fresh mango slices and mint leaves are optional. The mint adds a beautiful aroma and contrasting color.
How to Assemble Your Layered Mango Yakult
Follow these steps precisely to achieve the beautiful, distinct layers in your glass.
Prep the Glass: Pour the mango puree into the bottom of your serving glass.
Add Ice: Fill the glass generously with ice. This helps keep the liquids separated and chilled.
Add Yakult: Pour the entire bottle of Yakult over the ice.
Add Milk: Slowly pour the milk into the glass. Next, the milk will sit nicely above the Yakult, completing the layered effect.
Serve: Optionally add mango slices on top and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately.
Mango Yakult Drink FAQs
Q: Can I use frozen mango chunks? A: Yes, but you will need to blend them with a little water or sweetener first to create a smooth puree. The puree is essential for the base layer.
Q: Can I make this with sparkling water instead of milk? A: Yes, but it will lose the creamy, layered effect and be much thinner. Use plain cold milk for the best result.
