Substitute
The classic mango mule mocktail needs ginger beer. But, ginger ale works as a less spicy choice.
For a stronger ginger taste, mix regular ginger ale with extra ginger syrup.
Fresh mango can replace mango puree or juice. Blend 1 cup of chopped fresh mango with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Don’t have lime juice? Lemon juice adds similar tartness. Use the same amount the recipe asks for.
Other drink base options:
- Sparkling water + ginger syrup
- Ginger kombucha
- Club soda + dash of ginger extract
Fruit alternatives:
- Peach puree
- Pineapple juice
- Passion fruit juice
For garnish, swap mint leaves with:
- Basil leaves
- Rosemary sprigs
- Lime wheels
- Fresh ginger slices
Want less sugar? Use sugar-free ginger beer or diet ginger ale. Add stevia drops to taste.
