This cocktail’s got sweet mango, a hit of zesty lime, and just enough spirits to keep things interesting. I like mixing it up for hot afternoons, or when my friends want something sweet but not boring.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen ripe mango chunks (the riper, the better)
  • 2 oz vodka (I’m partial to vanilla vodka for a little extra sweetness)
  • 1 oz white rum
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice (about one big lime)
  • 1 oz simple syrup (homemade or store-bought, whatever’s handy)
  • 4-6 fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
  • Ice cubes
  • 2 oz club soda (for that bit of fizz)
  • Lime wedge and fresh mango slice (garnish, if you’re feeling fancy)
  • Optional: Mango nectar (swap for chunks if you want it smoother)

Instructions

Notes

Fresh, ripe mangoes are the best if you want that big, juicy flavor. If you go with mango nectar, it’ll turn out smoother.

Vanilla vodka is great for extra sweetness, but plain vodka works too. Sometimes I cut the simple syrup in half if I’m not in the mood for sweet. White rum gives it a bit of a mango mojito vibe, but feel free to skip it if you want a lighter drink.

Don’t over-muddle the mint or it’ll get bitter—just enough to release the aroma. I like to swipe a lime wedge around the rim for a little zing.

Frozen mango works if you can’t find fresh. Making a big batch? Just scale everything up, and add club soda right before serving.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

Sometimes I just want to mix things up, especially if I’m out of something or craving a different flavor.

Here are some ideas for substitutes:

  • Mango: Out of fresh mango? I’ll grab canned mango pulp, or, if I’m feeling adventurous, maybe peach nectar.
  • Alcohol: I’ll switch rum for vodka, or even toss in Irish cream liqueur if I want it creamier.
  • Non-Alcoholic (Mocktail): For a mocktail, I skip the booze and pour in extra mango juice with sparkling water. Honestly, kids seem to love it.
