  • Cutting board: A safe surface for cutting.
  • Cocktail shaker: Blends the ingredients well.

  • Glassware: Choose any favorite glass to serve.

Ingredients

The ingredients are simple and offer a perfect balance:

  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced
  • 1 jalapeño sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 2 cups of sparkling water
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey for sweetness
  • Ice cubes

These ingredients blend together to create a mocktail that’s both vibrant and flavorful. You can adjust the heat level by adding or reducing the jalapeño slices.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make this mocktail:

  • Blend the diced mango until smooth.
  • Add jalapeño slices and lime juice, then blend again.
  • Strain the mixture into a shaker to remove chunks.
  • Combine the strained mix with sparkling water in the shaker. Add honey.
  • Shake well to mix all ingredients.
  • Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the mocktail over the ice.

This process is quick, and the results are incredibly refreshing.

    Notes

    Here are a few tips and variations:
    It’s possible to replace honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
    If you prefer, use chilled mango juice instead of fresh mango to save time.
    Consider using a rim of salt or sugar on your glass for extra flavor and presentation.
    If you like a bit more spice, feel free to add another jalapeño slice.
    These variations help tailor the mocktail to personal taste preferences.

    The mango makes it smooth, while the jalapeño provides a little kick that tingles the taste buds.

    The lime complements these flavors without getting lost in the mix.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitute

    Sometimes, I don’t have all the ingredients for my Spicy Jalapeño Mango Mocktail. Here are some easy substitutes:

    • Jalapeño: If I want less heat, I use sliced bell peppers. For a spicier kick, serrano peppers work well.
    • Mango: I can use pineapple or peach for a sweet and tropical twist. They bring a similar sweetness to the drink.
    • Lime Juice: When I’m out of lime, lemon juice gives a fresh citrus flavor.
