Equipment

Ingredients
1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped

These ingredients create a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and fresh flavors in the mocktail. 🌿
Instructions
- Prep the mango: I start by blending the mango pieces and orange juice until smooth.

Use lemon juice instead of lime for a slightly different tang.
For a sugar-free option, skip the honey and go for pure sweetness from the mango.

Tips & Tricks
Creating the perfect Minty Mango Breeze Mocktail is super fun! Here are some tips to help you make it just right. 😊
Fresh Ingredients: I always make sure to use fresh mangoes and mint for the best taste. Frozen mango works too, but fresh is better.
Muddle the Mint: Gently muddling the mint leaves releases their flavor. I do this just enough to make them fragrant without tearing them too much.
Balance Flavors: If the drink is too sweet, I add a splash of lime. It adds a nice tangy touch and balances the sweetness.
Chill Your Glass: Before serving, I like to chill my glass. It keeps the drink colder longer and makes the experience even more refreshing.
Add Some Bubbles: For extra fizz, I top it off with a splash of soda water. It gives the mocktail a bubbly lift! 🥂
Garnish Creatively: A mango slice or mint sprig makes a beautiful garnish. I sometimes get creative and use both! 🌿🥭
