If not shikanji, there are other summer drinks that you can easily make at home. If you are craving a thick shake, put mangoes to some good use and make a delectable shake quickly.

The creamy and frothy milkshake not only tastes good but also gives us a chance to have mangoes in one of the most delightful ways possible.

Going by the recipe Saransh Goila shared, you've got to first peel a fully-ripened mango, then cut it into small cubes and add it to a blender. He gave a secret tip, which was to add fully-frozen full cream milk cubes along with ice and sugar. Then, blend them all together, and your mango milkshake is ready.

Enjoy the summer season sipping these yummy drinks.
