Tasting Notes

The Mango Mojito Mocktail is a tropical, herbaceous refresher with a juicy twist. Sweet mango purée delivers lush, sun-ripened flavor, perfectly balanced by the zesty brightness of lime and the cooling aroma of fresh mint. Topped with bubbly soda water, this mocktail is light, fizzy, and wonderfully thirst-quenching. It’s a vibrant, alcohol-free take on the classic mojito—bursting with color, flavor, and refreshing energy in every sip.

Equipment and Glassware

All you need is a sturdy glass and a muddler (or the back of a spoon) to gently press the mint and lime. A jigger helps with accurate measuring, and a bar spoon is handy for stirring. Serve in a highball or Collins glass to highlight the layers of mint, mango, and bubbles. Use a cocktail pick or tongs to place the mint sprig and lime wheel for a clean finish.

Ingredients

• 2 oz mango purée
• 0.5 oz lime juice
• 5 fresh mint leaves
• Soda water (to top)
• Mint sprig and lime wheel (for garnish)

Instructions

• Muddle: In a glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with lime juice to release their oils.
• Add Mango Purée: Stir in the mango purée to combine.
• Add Ice and Top: Fill the glass with ice, then top with soda water.
• Stir and Garnish: Stir gently and garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel.

Pro Tips

• Use ripe mango or high-quality purée (or nectar) for the best flavor.
• Don’t over-muddle the mint—bruising it too much can cause bitterness.
• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cooler longer.
• Add a splash of coconut water or pineapple juice for an extra island twist.

When to Serve

This Mango Mojito Mocktail is perfect for sunny afternoons, summer barbecues, poolside lounging, or as a non-alcoholic option at cocktail hour. It’s also great for baby showers, tropical-themed events, or just whenever you’re craving a bright and breezy sip.

Recommended Brands to Use
