Mango Cup Cooler

Rinse the blueberries and strawberries thoroughly under cold running water, then pat them dry with a clean paper towel. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half.

Add the blueberries and sliced strawberries into a cocktail shaker or sturdy cup. Muddle the fruits firmly until they release their juices and form a pulpy mixture.

Squeeze fresh lemons to obtain the required amount of lemon juice, straining out any seeds. Add the lemon juice directly into the shaker with the muddled fruit.

Add a small pinch of salt to the mixture to enhance and brighten the natural fruit flavors. Stir briefly to incorporate the salt evenly.

Fill the shaker with ice cubes and seal it tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels well chilled.

Fill a large serving cup or tiki glass with fresh ice. Strain or pour the chilled mixture over the ice, allowing the fruit pulp to pass through if desired for a more textured drink.

Taste the drink and adjust balance if needed by adding a few more drops of lemon juice or a tiny pinch of salt. Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a few whole blueberries on the rim.
