Instructions

The drink can be prepared in advance up to step 5 and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

    Notes

    This recipe makes about 4 servings and can be easily doubled for larger gatherings. For a stronger mint flavor, let the muddled mint steep in the mixture for 30 minutes before straining it out.
    For a tropical twist, add 1/4 cup coconut milk or replace some water with coconut water. Frozen mango can substitute for fresh when out of season—use about 2 cups of frozen chunks, thawed slightly.
    Children especially enjoy this drink, and it makes an excellent non-alcoholic option for parties. The recipe can be adjusted to taste—more honey for sweetness or more lime for tartness.
    Store any leftover mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but add fresh sparkling water when serving.

    Tasting Notes

    The Mango Mint Cooler Mocktail offers a refreshing balance of sweet and tart flavors. Fresh mango provides a tropical sweetness that forms the base of this drink.

    Mint adds a cool, herbaceous note that brightens the beverage. The combination creates a clean, crisp taste perfect for warm weather.

    A hint of lime juice brings necessary acidity to balance the sweetness of the mango. This citrus element prevents the drink from becoming too sweet.

    Flavor Profile:

    • Primary: Sweet mango with cooling mint
    • Secondary: Bright citrus notes
    • Finish: Clean, refreshing aftertaste

    The texture is smooth yet light, with tiny bits of pureed mango giving the drink some body. Ice dilutes the mixture just enough to make it extra refreshing without weakening the flavors.

    When properly chilled, the mocktail has a pleasant coolness that enhances the mint flavor. The temperature is an important part of the tasting experience.

    Colors blend into an appealing peachy-orange hue with flecks of green mint. This visual element adds to the overall experience of enjoying the drink.

    The aroma combines tropical fruit scents with fresh garden herbs. This creates an inviting first impression before the first sip.

    Substitute

    If you don’t have some ingredients for the Mango Mint Cooler Mocktail, there are many easy swaps you can make.

    Fruit Options:

    • Replace mango with peach, pineapple, or strawberries
    • Use frozen fruit instead of fresh when mangoes aren’t in season
    • Try watermelon for a refreshing summer version

    Herb Alternatives:

    • Swap mint for basil or cilantro
    • Use lemongrass for a citrusy note
    • Try rosemary for a more complex flavor

    No fresh mint? Mint syrup works too. Add 1-2 tablespoons to taste.

    For the lime juice, lemon juice makes a good substitute. You can also use orange juice for a sweeter drink.

    For the soda water, try coconut water, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda depending on how sweet you want your drink.

    No blender? Simply muddle the mint. Then, mix with mango puree and strain for a smoother texture.
