Description
A refreshing Mango Mojito Mocktail recipe combining fresh mango puree, lime juice, mint, and club soda for a vibrant, non-alcoholic beverage perfect for warm weather or any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Simple Syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Mango Puree
- 1 lb. mango chunks (fresh or thawed frozen, equals about 4 large mangoes)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (equals 3-5 limes, divided)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 cup cooled simple syrup
Assembly
- Ice cubes
- Club soda (1-2 bottles, to fill glasses)
- Fresh mint sprigs (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and stir continuously with a spoon or whisk until all sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare Mango Chunks: Peel and cut fresh mangoes close to the pit to extract chunks. Score flesh into squares without cutting skin, then scoop out cubes with a spoon. Alternatively, thaw 1 lb. frozen mango chunks fully and drain any excess water.
- Blend Mango Puree: In a blender, combine 1 lb. mango chunks, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, and 1/2 cup cooled simple syrup. Pulse until smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble Mocktails: Fill highball glasses about two-thirds full with ice cubes. Pour approximately 1/3 cup mango puree over the ice. Top with club soda until the glass is full, then stir gently to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Add a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge to each glass. Serve immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- You can use frozen mango chunks as a convenient alternative to fresh mangoes; just thaw completely before using.
- The simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your taste.
- For a slightly different flavor, you can muddle the mint leaves instead of blending them to release essential oils.
- This mocktail is best served immediately to maintain the fizz from the club soda.
