    ❤️Why we love this recipe

    • Easy recipe.  This recipe comes together quickly, doesn't require a cocktail shaker, and you can get all of the ingredients at your local grocery stores.
    • Fruity delight. The combination of fresh mango chunks, mango nectar, lime juice, and mint leaves creates a beautiful blend of tropical flavors and a great variation on a classic cocktail.
    • Refreshing and tasty. This mango cocktail is perfect for a hot summer day or any occasion where you need a revitalizing drink.

    🥭Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients we used for this recipe. You can find more information for substitutions below.

    Mango mojito cocktail ingredients in glasses and other containers.
    • Ripe mangos
    • Mango nectar - This can be store-bought. You can also use fresh mango puree, but it will give the drink a slightly thicker consistency, so we prefer to use mango nectar.
    • Simple syrup 
    • Lime juice
    • Sprig of mint
    • White rum
    • Sparkling water or club soda

    ✨Substitutions & variations

    Here are a few suggestions on additional flavors to try, or simple variations to this recipe.

    • Fruit substitutions. If you don't have mango chunks or mango nectar, you can substitute them with other fruits like pineapple, peach, or passion fruit for a different tropical twist.  
    • Sparkling water. Swap sparkling water for club soda or seltzer water. 
    • White rum. Instead of white rum, you can experiment with mango rum or different spirits such as vodka or silver tequila to create unique flavor profiles.
    • Sweetener options. If you don't have simple syrup, you can use honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup as a substitute. Adjust the quantity to taste.
    • Herb variations. Swap mint leaves for fresh basil or cilantro for a different flavor.
    • Lower sugar option. We like to create low sugar options sometimes with our drinks, and it's very easy! Simply swap the simple syrup for a sugar free simple syrup, which is made exactly the same way as regular simple syrup is made, just with allulose sweetener instead. To prepare, combine 1 and ⅓ cups of allulose with 1 cup of water (allulose is slightly less sweet than sugar) in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sweetener. Allow to cool completely before using.

    🔪Prep work

    • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut your mango into even cube slices.
    • Juice one lime. Cut another into lime wheels.
    • Measure out all your ingredients.

    Add a few of the fresh mint leaves to the serving glass. Muddle again very gently (just a few turns) to prevent bruising the mint! You want to release the flavor of the mint without bruising it and making it bitter. (Image 4)

    ✨Pro Tip: When muddling, only use a few turns to release the flavor of the mint. Muddling for long and too aggressively can make it bitter and throw off the taste of the drink.

    Garnish with more mango chunks, a lime slice, and a sprig of mint, and enjoy!

    ✨Tips & tricks

    • Muddling technique. When muddling the mango chunks and mint leaves, be gentle but firm. Press and twist with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the flavors without over-mashing the ingredients.
    • Fresh ingredients. Opt for ripe, juicy mangoes and fresh mint leaves to maximize the flavor of your mojito. Fresh ingredients will give you the best results for this cocktail.
    • Adjust sweetness and tanginess. Taste the mixture before adding the club soda and adjust the sweetness and tanginess to your preference. Add more simple syrup or mango nectar for a sweeter drink or squeeze in extra lime juice for a tangier kick.
    • Chilling the ingredients. Chilling the mango chunks, mango nectar, and club soda before making the mojito helps keep the drink cool and refreshing.

    💭Frequently Asked Questions

    How to store the leftovers?

    This recipe is best enjoyed right away, and we don't recommend making it in advance. However, if you need to save it, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze. 

    Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this drink?


    Yes! Omit the rum and increase either the club soda or mango nectar to make up for the missing liquid. This way, you can enjoy the flavors without needing the alcohol.

    Can I prepare the mango mixture ahead of time?


    You can prepare mango chunks, simple syrup, and lime juice and store them in the fridge for a few hours. The club soda should be added just before serving to ensure the fizziest drink instead of a flat one.

    Can I use frozen mango chunks instead of fresh mango?


    Yes. Frozen mangos can be used in this recipe as a substitute. Make sure to thaw them completely for the best result.
