Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Cocktail shaker (optional)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Highball glasses (12 oz)
- Muddler or wooden spoon
- Ice cube tray
- Cutting board and knife
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes peeled and cubed (about 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 2-3 limes
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
- 15-20 fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
- 2 cups sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Lime wheels for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger optional
The quality of mangoes greatly affects the final taste. Choose mangoes that yield slightly to pressure and smell sweet at the stem end.
Instructions
- Prepare the mango puree: Blend the mango chunks until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a pulp-free drink.
- Muddle the mint: Place mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker or large glass. Gently press with a muddler or wooden spoon to release the oils.
- Mix the base: Add the mango puree, lime juice, and honey to the muddled mint. Stir well to combine all flavors.
- Assemble the mocktail: Fill glasses halfway with ice. Pour the mango-mint mixture over the ice, filling the glass about halfway.
- Add fizz: Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
- Garnish and serve: Add a lime wheel and fresh mint sprig to each glass before serving.
For a party, prepare the mango-mint base ahead of time and add sparkling water just before serving.

Tasting Notes
The Mango Mint Breeze Mocktail offers a well-balanced flavor profile that combines sweetness with refreshing elements. The ripe mango provides a tropical sweetness that forms the drink’s base.
Fresh mint adds a cooling sensation that cuts through the mango’s richness. This herbal note creates a pleasant contrast without overwhelming the fruit flavors.
The citrus elements bring brightness and acidity that enhance the other flavors.
Lime juice particularly helps to sharpen the taste and adds a subtle tartness.
Flavor Highlights:
- Sweet, juicy mango dominates the first sip
- Cool mint follows as a refreshing counterpoint
- Citrus notes provide a bright finish
- Light carbonation adds texture and liveliness
When properly chilled, the drink presents a crisp, clean taste that works well on hot days.
The sweetness level can be adjusted based on the ripeness of mangoes used.
The aftertaste features lingering mint with subtle mango notes. This gentle finish makes the mocktail easy to enjoy over an extended period without becoming overwhelming.
For the best tasting experience, serve this mocktail very cold with plenty of ice. The flavors tend to meld and improve after sitting for 5-10 minutes.
Substitutes
Can’t find mango or mint? No problem! There are many ways to change this mocktail to fit what you have at home.
For the mango, try peach or pineapple puree. Both give a sweet, tropical taste like mango does. Peach is milder, while pineapple adds more tang.
If fresh mint isn’t handy, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of mint extract instead. Basil makes a good replacement too, with a different but still refreshing flavor.
No lime juice? Lemon juice works well in its place. Use the same amount the recipe calls for.
For the sparkling water, any clear soda works. Ginger ale adds spice, while lemon-lime soda makes it sweeter.
Those with mint allergies should try the basil version. Those watching sugar intake might prefer using less fruit puree and more sparkling water.
