Ingredients

Mango Base:

1 ripe mango peeled and cubed (about 1 cup)

¼ cup fresh lime juice about 2 limes
2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
1 cup cold water
2 cups ice cubes
Club soda or sparkling water

Garnishes:

The key is using perfectly ripe mangoes for natural sweetness. Fresh ginger adds a warming kick that balances the sweet mango and tart lime.

Instructions

Prepare the mango puree: Blend the mango chunks with lime juice and honey until smooth.

Add the ginger: Mix in the freshly grated ginger to the puree and blend for 10 seconds more.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher or container to remove fibrous bits.
For each serving: Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. Pour ¼ cup of the mango-ginger mixture over the ice.

Top with sparkle: Add club soda or sparkling water to fill the glass, leaving about ½ inch at the top.
Stir gently with a long spoon to combine the ingredients without losing carbonation.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a slice of mango, and a lime wedge.

Notes

This mocktail can be prepared ahead by making the mango-ginger base up to 2 days in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator.

For a spicier version, double the amount of ginger or add a small slice of jalapeño (seeds removed) to the blender.

Replace honey with agave syrup for a vegan option. The sweetness can be adjusted based on the ripeness of your mangoes.

For special occasions, freeze mango chunks and use them instead of ice cubes to prevent dilution while keeping the drink cold.

Children typically enjoy this mocktail with less ginger and more honey. The recipe yields approximately 4 servings.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Ginger Splash Mocktail offers a bright and refreshing flavor profile. The sweet mango takes center stage, providing a tropical base that feels both indulgent and light.

Ginger adds a warm, spicy kick that contrasts with the mango’s sweetness. This creates a balanced drink that isn’t too sweet or too sharp.

The splash of lime juice brings a tangy brightness that ties the flavors together. It adds a citrus note that enhances the tropical mango taste.

Flavor Profile:

First sip: Sweet mango with hints of ginger
Mid-palate: Warming ginger spice develops
Finish: Refreshing lime zest with lingering mango sweetness

The texture is smooth yet slightly frothy when shaken properly. Ice dilution helps mellow the intensity of the ginger, creating a more harmonious blend.

This mocktail works well in both summer and winter. During hot months, it cools and refreshes. In colder seasons, the ginger provides a comforting warmth.

The aroma combines tropical fruit notes with the distinctive spicy scent of fresh ginger. This creates an inviting sensory experience before the first sip.

Food pairings that complement this mocktail include:

Light appetizers like spring rolls
Spicy Asian dishes
Grilled seafood
Fresh fruit desserts

Substitute

Can’t find all the ingredients for the Mango Ginger Splash Mocktail? No worries! Here are some easy swaps that work well.

Fruit Options:

Replace mango with peach, pineapple, or papaya
Substitute fresh fruit with frozen (thawed) versions

Ginger Alternatives:

Ginger powder (1/4 teaspoon) instead of fresh ginger

Ginger ale for both the ginger and some of the sparkling water

Sweeteners:

Honey or agave nectar instead of simple syrup
Stevia or monk fruit for a sugar-free option

The lime juice can be replaced with lemon juice or orange juice for a different citrus note.

For the sparkling water, try coconut water, tonic water, or flavored seltzer to add extra dimension to the drink.

If mint is unavailable, basil or lemon balm make good garnish replacements that complement the tropical flavors.
