How to Make Traditional Haitian Mango Juice (Ji Mango)

Introduction

Nothing says tropical refreshment like a tall glass of Haitian Mango Juice, known locally as Ji Mango. Sweet, smooth, and naturally vibrant, this drink has been enjoyed for generations across Haiti. Today on Dinner Ideas for the Haitian Cook, we’re sharing a simple, authentic recipe you can make right at home.

Whether you’re hosting a gathering or looking for a cool afternoon treat, Ji Mango delivers the taste of the Caribbean in every sip.

 


Ingredients

  • 4 cups water

  • 3 cups orange juice

  • 2 ripe mangos

  • 1 cup sugar

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Serves 6–8


Directions

  1. Prepare the Mangos: Peel and pit the mangos. Cut the flesh into chunks.

  2. Blend: Add mango pieces, water, and orange juice to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  3. Sweeten: Mix in sugar, adjusting to taste.

  4. Serve: Pour into a pitcher, chill, and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

This recipe creates a naturally thick, fruity drink—perfect over ice.
