Equipment

Ingredients

Ripe mangoes work best for this recipe. Look for mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure. If using canned mango, drain well and rinse to remove excess syrup.

Instructions

  • Prepare the mango puree: Add mango chunks to a blender with 2 tablespoons of water. Blend until smooth.
  • Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any fibrous bits. This step is optional but creates a smoother drink.
  • Mix the base: In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, combine the mango puree, coconut milk, lime juice, and honey.
  • Shake well with ice until thoroughly mixed and chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
  • Prepare glasses by filling them halfway with ice cubes.
  • Pour the mixture into glasses, filling about ⅓ of the way.
  • Top with sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish with mint leaves, lime slices, and coconut flakes if desired.
  • Serve immediately while the drink is cold and the bubbles are still fizzy.

Notes

This recipe makes about 4 servings. The mango puree can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
For a colder drink, freeze mango chunks in advance. This eliminates the need for ice which can water down the flavor.
The sweetness level can be adjusted by adding more or less honey. Taste as you go to find your preferred balance.
For a cocktail version, add 1-2 ounces of white rum or coconut rum per serving.
Try other fruit variations like pineapple, peach, or strawberry instead of mango for different flavor profiles.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Coconut Spritzer Mocktail offers a balanced mix of sweet and tangy flavors. The mango provides a tropical sweetness that’s both bright and smooth.

Coconut milk adds a creamy richness that softens the drink without making it heavy. Its subtle nuttiness pairs well with the mango’s natural sugars.

The lime juice brings necessary acidity to cut through the sweetness. This tartness creates a refreshing quality that makes the drink perfect for warm days.

Flavor Profile:

  • First sip: Sweet mango with hints of coconut
  • Mid-palate: Creamy texture with tropical fruit notes
  • Finish: Clean, slightly tart with lingering coconut

Carbonation from the sparkling water adds a pleasant fizz that tingles on the tongue. This effervescence makes each sip feel light and refreshing.

The drink’s aroma features strong mango notes with coconut undertones. This tropical scent enhances the overall drinking experience.

For those who enjoy sweeter drinks, the natural sugars from the mango provide enough sweetness without becoming cloying. The coconut milk rounds out the flavors and gives the drink a silky mouthfeel.

The mocktail tastes best when very cold. Ice dilutes the drink slightly over time, which can actually improve the balance of flavors.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

Not everyone likes the same flavors, so some may need to swap out ingredients. Here are common substitutes for this mocktail:

Fruit Options:

Liquid Bases:

For those avoiding sugar, honey or agave work well instead of simple syrup. Monk fruit sweetener offers a zero-calorie option.

No fresh mint? Dried mint works in a pinch, though the flavor won’t be as bright. Use about 1/3 the amount if using dried herbs.

This recipe can become alcohol-friendly by adding 1 oz of white rum or vodka per serving. The coconut pairs well with rum for a tropical twist.

For a completely different take, try cucumber instead of mango for a refreshing summer drink. The coconut still complements it nicely.
