Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 cup sparkling water, chilled
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Peel and chop the ripe mangoes, then blend the chunks until smooth to make a luscious mango puree, which is the base of the mocktail.
- Mix Citrus and Sweetener: In a mixing glass, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice with honey or agave syrup if using. Stir well until the sweetener dissolves completely, balancing the tartness with mellow sweetness.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the mango puree into the citrus mixture and stir until fully combined. Add a handful of ice cubes to chill the mixture and keep it crisp.
- Add Sparkling Water and Mint: Slowly top off the mix with chilled sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz. Gently bruise and mix in fresh mint leaves to infuse a cool herbal aroma that blends with the fruity flavors.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the mocktail into tall glasses, add extra ice if needed, and garnish with mint sprigs or lime wedges to enhance presentation and aroma. Serve right away to enjoy the full fizz and freshness.
Notes
- Use fully ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor and creamiest texture.
- Keep the mango puree and sparkling water chilled to maintain refreshment.
- Add honey or agave syrup gradually to adjust sweetness without overpowering the citrus.
- Lightly bruise mint leaves to release essential oils without creating bitterness.
- Serve immediately after mixing to preserve the sparkling water’s fizz.
