Sharing is caring!

Tropical fruit meets classic cocktail in this refreshing twist on the traditional mojito. The sweet, juicy mango adds a perfect balance to the crisp mint and lime, while premium vodka provides a smooth finish.

This easy-to-make mango vodka mojito combines fresh fruit, mint leaves, lime juice, and vodka to create a bright and flavorful drink perfect for warm weather gatherings.

The recipe takes just 5 minutes to prepare and requires basic bar tools most people already have at home.

Whether serving guests at a summer party or enjoying a quiet evening on the patio, this cocktail brings together familiar flavors in an exciting new way.

Fresh ingredients make all the difference in this drink.

Ripe mangoes and garden-picked mint create the best taste, though frozen mango chunks work well too.

The recipe serves one person but doubles or triples easily for groups.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Vodka Mojito combines sweet tropical fruit with bright citrus and cool mint.

Each sip starts with fresh mango sweetness, followed by crisp vodka notes and zesty lime.

The texture is smooth and refreshing, with tiny bubbles from the club soda adding a light fizz. Fresh mint leaves give an invigorating aroma and clean finish.

Main Flavor Components:

• Sweet mango
• Bright lime
• Cool mint
• Clean vodka
• Light carbonation

The drink maintains a good balance between sweet and tart flavors.

The mango brings natural sweetness while lime adds a tart zip. Mint cuts through the fruit with a cool, fresh taste.

This cocktail has a medium body – not too thick or thin. The color is a pretty peachy-orange with green mint flecks throughout.

The alcohol taste is mild, making this an easy-drinking cocktail. Club soda thins out the mango puree for a light, bubbly mouthfeel.

Substitute

You can swap mango vodka with plain vodka. Then add mango puree or nectar to keep the tropical flavor. Use 1.5 oz vodka plus 1 oz mango puree as a replacement.

No mango puree? Try these fruit alternatives:

• Peach nectar
• Passion fruit puree
• Pineapple juice
• Guava nectar

White rum works great instead of vodka for a more traditional mojito taste. The drink will be sweeter and have subtle vanilla notes.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the mango vodka with:

• Mango juice (3 oz)
• Sparkling water (1 oz)
• A splash of vanilla extract

The mint leaves are key to the mojito flavor. If needed, substitute with:

• Fresh basil leaves
• Lemon balm
• Lime zest

Simple syrup can be replaced with:

• Agave nectar
• Honey
• Maple syrup
• Stevia (use less, as it’s very sweet)

Club soda adds the fizz. Other bubbly options include:

• Sprite (reduce other sweeteners)
• Ginger ale
• Tonic water
• Sparkling water
