Strawberry Mango Mocktail Recipe

I like to keep this drink simple and super refreshing, with just the right balance of sweet fruit and a bit of fizz. The mix of strawberries, mango, and citrus keeps it bright, while mint and sparkling water make it extra crisp.

Equipment

• Cutting board and knife
• Small bowl for mashing fruit
• Immersion blender or regular blender
• Fine mesh strainer (optional, for smoother texture)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixing spoon
• Tall glasses for serving
• Ice cube tray
• Citrus juicer for lime or orange juice

I usually grab my immersion blender for a quick, smooth fruit puree, but honestly, a fork works if I’m feeling lazy or want more texture. If I want a clear drink, I just run it through a strainer.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
• 1 cup mango juice or orange juice
• 2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
• 1/2 cup sparkling water or club soda
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• Ice cubes

I like to adjust the sweetness depending on how ripe my fruit is. If the mango is super sweet, I barely use any honey or syrup at all.

Fresh mint adds a cooling touch that just pairs so well with the fruit.

Instructions

• Wash and cut the strawberries and mango into small pieces.
• Toss the fruit in a bowl or blender and puree until smooth.
• Stir in lime juice and honey (or maple syrup) until everything comes together.
• Add mango juice or orange juice and blend again until it’s all mixed.
• Fill glasses with ice cubes.
• Pour the fruit mixture over the ice, filling each glass halfway.
• Top with sparkling water or club soda for that fizz.
• Stir gently and toss in some fresh mint leaves for garnish.

Sometimes I leave small fruit chunks for texture, but when I want it smoother, I just blend all the way. Adding sparkling water at the end keeps the bubbles nice and fresh.

Notes

I usually go for fresh fruit, but if I’ve got frozen strawberries or mango, I thaw them first and they work just fine. Frozen fruit also makes the drink colder without needing as much ice.

If I’m craving more citrus, I add extra lime juice. For a sweeter twist, I swap in orange juice instead of mango juice.

This recipe scales up easily—just double or triple the fruit and juice, mix in a big pitcher, and add the sparkling water right before serving.

Mint leaves really make a difference. I gently clap them between my hands before tossing them in to bring out those fresh oils.

Tasting Notes

Right away, the first sip comes across as bright and refreshing. Strawberry brings a gentle sweetness, and mango follows up with this smooth, tropical vibe that just feels naturally rich.

The fruit flavors balance each other out, which is honestly nice. I taste strawberry up front, then mango hangs around in a soft, mellow finish.

I love that the texture stays light—it’s not watery, though. Blending the fruit gives the mocktail a little thickness, so it’s got more body than your average juice.

Chilled? That’s when the flavors really pop. The cool temperature tones down the sweetness and keeps the whole thing easy to drink.

The color’s worth mentioning too. That mix of red and orange turns out super bright and inviting, and honestly, it makes the drink feel a bit special even without any fancy garnish.

If I’m in the mood to tweak the flavor, I’ll squeeze in some lime for a bit of tartness. Tossing a few mint leaves on top brings a fresh aroma that works surprisingly well with the fruit.
