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.

- 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.
