Equipment

  • Blender
  • Tall glasses
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Citrus juicer (optional)
  • Ice

Ingredients

For 2 servings:

  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • 2 cups ice
  • Mint leaves and lime slices for garnish

Pick mangoes that are soft and fragrant for the best flavor. Fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice taste great, but bottled works too. To make simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and water and heat until dissolved.

Instructions

  • Add mangoes, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to the blender.
  • Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Add ice and blend again until slushy.
  • Pour into glasses and garnish with mint and lime slices.
  • Serve right away and enjoy!

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup. For a thinner drink, add a splash of water or coconut water. You can make this ahead of time, but give it a quick blend before serving to remix.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to change up. Try other fruits like pineapple or strawberries. Coconut water makes a nice swap for some of the orange juice. For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or ginger.
    The mocktail will keep in the fridge for a day, but it tastes best fresh. If you have leftovers, freeze them in popsicle molds for a cool treat. This drink is great for parties – just scale up the recipe as needed.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Tasting Notes

    This tropical mango mocktail is a refreshing blend of sweet and tangy flavors. The ripe mango takes center stage, providing a luscious sweetness that coats the palate.

    A hint of lime adds a zesty kick, balancing the mango’s natural sugars. The coconut water brings a subtle nuttiness and lightness to the drink.

    The addition of mint leaves gives a cool, herbal note that enhances the tropical essence. As you sip, you’ll notice how the mint aroma complements the fruity flavors.

    The drink has a smooth texture, thanks to the pureed mango. Ice cubes keep it chilled and add a pleasant crunch.

    This mocktail is perfect for hot summer days or when you’re craving a taste of the tropics. It’s a vibrant, alcohol-free option that doesn’t skimp on flavor or visual appeal.

    Substitute

    Mango plays a key role in this tropical mocktail. But if fresh mangoes aren’t available, there are other options.

    Canned mango puree works well as a replacement. It provides similar flavor and texture to fresh mango.

    Frozen mango chunks offer another good substitute. They blend easily and add a frosty chill to the drink.

    Peach nectar can stand in for mango juice if needed. It has a similar sweet taste that fits the tropical theme.

    For a different twist, try using papaya instead of mango. Papaya has a creamy texture and tropical flavor that works nicely in this mocktail recipe.

    Pineapple juice makes another tasty swap. It brings bright, tangy notes to the drink.

    Non-fruit options exist too. Coconut water adds subtle sweetness and fits the tropical vibe.

    For extra creaminess, coconut milk works well. These choices change the flavor profile but keep the refreshing feel of the original recipe.
