Strawberry Orange Mango Mocktail

Sunlit afternoons are usually when this Strawberry Orange Mango Mocktail makes its way into my glass. I first mixed it while cleaning out the fridge and realized I had strawberries, orange juice, and mango purée waiting to be used. What started as a quick experiment turned into a mocktail I now make whenever I want something colorful and refreshing.

Strawberry mocktails are always a hit, but pairing strawberries with orange and mango takes things up a notch. The strawberries bring freshness, the orange adds brightness, and the mango rounds everything out with soft sweetness. I love this mocktail because it tastes layered and juicy without feeling heavy or overly sweet.

Ingredients

• 1 oz mango purée
• 2 oz orange juice
• A handful of chopped strawberries
• Sparkling orange or mango water to top

Mango purée adds smooth texture and mellow sweetness. Orange juice brings brightness and acidity that lifts the drink. Strawberries add freshness and color, while sparkling water gives the mocktail its light, bubbly finish.

Suggested Brands and Substitutions

Even without alcohol, ingredient quality makes a difference. Choosing good juice and purée helps the flavors stay clean and natural. Substitutions are easy if you want to adjust sweetness or texture.

• Fresh mango purée for best flavor and texture
• Store bought mango purée when fresh is unavailable
• Fresh squeezed orange juice for brighter citrus notes
• Bottled orange juice for convenience
• Plain sparkling water if flavored water is too sweet

If you prefer less sweetness, use plain sparkling water instead of flavored. For more mango flavor, add a small splash of extra purée and stir gently.

Equipment and Glassware

This mocktail does not require special tools, which makes it easy to prepare anytime. Most kitchens already have everything you need. The glass choice helps show off the layered colors.

• Muddler
• Jigger
• Bar Spoon
• Highball Glass
• Tongs

A clear glass highlights the bright orange and red tones. Using larger ice cubes helps slow dilution and keeps the flavors balanced.

How to Make It

This Strawberry Orange Mango Mocktail is built right in the glass, which keeps prep simple. Muddling the strawberries gently releases their juice without overpowering the drink. The rest comes together quickly.

1. Add chopped strawberries to the bottom of your glass.
2. Gently muddle the strawberries to release their juice.
3. Pour in the mango purée and orange juice.
4. Stir to combine the fruit base.
5. Fill the glass with ice.
6. Top with sparkling orange or mango water to taste.
7. Stir gently to integrate flavors.
8. Garnish with an orange slice and strawberry.

If the drink tastes too thick, add more sparkling water. For a sweeter mocktail, add a touch of honey or simple syrup.
