This is the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice ($10.90; fixed ice, no sugar) from Heytea, inspired by the Thai dessert mango sticky rice. It featured coconut-scented Thai long-grain sticky rice topped with mango purée and a mango coconut slushie made from mango juice and coconut milk.
The beverage presented with a layered appearance similar to Heytea’s Mango Coconut Boom, with white sticky rice at the base, followed by orange mango purée and an opaque yellow slushie. Two bamboo leaves were positioned inside the cup, with their tips extending above the rim for visual effect.
As a slushie, the beverage needed to melt slightly before the components could be mixed properly, otherwise the initial sips contained mostly sticky rice and mango chunks. Once mixed, the mango coconut slushie delivered a creamy, smooth combination of mango and coconut, with sufficient natural sweetness from the mango juice to carry the beverage without added sugar. The coconut-scented sticky rice provided chewy grains that reinforced the coconut’s nuttiness, adding textural contrast to the smooth slushie. However, the mango purée was distinctly tart and tasted underripe, lacking the rich sweetness usually associated with ripe mango. Despite this, the combination offered an interesting drinkable interpretation of mango sticky rice, with enjoyable textural variation and a rich mango-coconut profile.
Overall, a dessert-inspired mango coconut beverage with a creamy, sweet slushie balanced by chewy coconut-scented rice and a tart mango purée, resulting in an engaging textural contrast despite the underripe mango profile.
This Mango Coconut Sticky Rice was purchased from Heytea in Sydney, Australia, in October 2026.
