Inspired by my favorite springtime snack—ripe mangoes with lime, chili powder, and salt—this refreshing nonalcoholic beverage is equal parts tangy and sweet. Rimming a glass with Tajín makes this drink extra-festive, but you can also simply sprinkle some over the top to get that tart, spicy kick. If you can’t get your hands on Tajín, a simple mix of 2 parts chile powder to 1 part kosher salt will do the trick. —Zaynab Issa
