Ingredients

1 ripe mango peeled and cubed (about 1 cup)
1 cup ginger ale chilled
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger optional
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Lime wedges for garnish

For best results, use ripe mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure.

Instructions

Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit. Cut into cubes.
Add mango cubes to a blender with 1 tablespoon of honey and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Strain the mango puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any fibrous parts.

Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
Pour half the mango puree into each glass.
Top each glass with 1/2 cup of cold ginger ale.
Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing carbonation.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a lime wedge on the rim of each glass.

If using the optional ground ginger, add it to the blender with the mango for extra spice.

Notes

This mocktail can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead by making the mango puree and refrigerating it. Add the ginger ale just before serving to maintain carbonation.

For a frozen version, freeze the mango chunks before blending. This creates a slushy texture perfect for hot days.

Try variations by adding other fruits like pineapple or strawberry for different flavor profiles.

For a spicier drink, add a thin slice of fresh ginger during blending.

The recipe easily doubles or triples for serving at parties. Prepare a pitcher of the mango base and let guests add their own ginger ale.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Ginger Ale Mocktail offers a bright, tropical flavor profile with a refreshing finish. The sweet mango notes hit first, followed by the zingy bite of ginger ale.

A well-balanced drink, this mocktail combines fruity sweetness with a gentle spice. The carbonation from the ginger ale adds a pleasant tingle that complements the smooth mango puree.

The color is a sunny orange-yellow, making it visually appealing for summer gatherings or special occasions.

Flavor Profile:

First Taste: Sweet mango with hints of tropical fruit
Middle Notes: Warming ginger spice
Finish: Clean, bubbly, and refreshing

The drink’s texture is smooth yet effervescent. When properly mixed, it should have a silky mouthfeel with the perfect amount of carbonation.

For best results, serve very cold in a glass with plenty of ice. The chill enhances the crispness of the ginger and the sweetness of the mango.

This mocktail pairs well with spicy foods as the sweetness helps balance heat. It also complements light appetizers and summer salads.

Substitute

Don’t have all the ingredients for the Mango Ginger Ale Mocktail? No problem! Here are some easy swaps you can use.

If fresh mango isn’t available, try using frozen mango chunks or 100% mango juice instead. Each option will give you that tropical flavor.

Ginger Ale Alternatives:

Ginger beer (for a stronger ginger taste)
Sparkling water + 1 teaspoon ginger syrup
Lemon-lime soda + a dash of ground ginger

No lime juice? Lemon juice works well as a substitute. The citrus acidity balances the sweetness of the mango.

Can’t find fresh ginger? Use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or ginger paste from a tube. The flavor will be slightly different but still tasty.

For a sugar-free version, replace simple syrup with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit extract. Start with small amounts and adjust to taste.
