Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Muddler or wooden spoon
• Cocktail shaker
• Strainer
• Highball glass
• Measuring jigger (1 oz and 2 oz sides)
• Knife and cutting board
• Citrus juicer (optional)
• Ice bucket
• Bar spoon or long-handled spoon

Ingredients

For one cocktail:

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz fresh lime juice about 1 medium lime
• 1 oz mango puree fresh or store-bought
• 10-12 fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
• 2 tsp sugar or 1 oz simple syrup
• Sparkling water or club soda
• Ice cubes
• Mango slice and lime wedge for garnish
• Use ripe mangoes for the puree if making it fresh.

Instructions

• Prepare the glass: Fill a highball glass with ice and set aside.
• Muddle the mint: Place mint leaves and sugar (or simple syrup) in a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle to release the mint oils without shredding the leaves.
• Add remaining ingredients: Pour in the rum, lime juice, and mango puree. Add ice to the shaker and seal tightly.
• Shake well: Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
• Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Top with sparkling water or club soda (about 2 oz).
• Garnish: Add a sprig of mint, mango slice, and lime wedge to the rim of the glass.
• The drink appears light yellow-orange with flecks of mint throughout.

Notes

Adjust the recipe to suit your taste. For a less sweet version, reduce the mango puree or sugar.

For a non-alcoholic option, replace the rum with extra sparkling water or mango juice.

To make a pitcher for parties, multiply all ingredients by the number of servings. Add ice and sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink fizzy.

Store leftover mango puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze in ice cube trays for future use.

Chill all ingredients before mixing for a colder, more refreshing drink.

Tasting Notes

The Tropical Mango Mojito offers a balance of sweet and tart flavors. Ripe mango gives natural sweetness that matches the lime’s bright acidity.

With the first sip, mango flavor comes forward, followed by cooling mint notes. Rum adds warmth without overpowering the fruit.

The cocktail has a smooth texture with a slight thickness from the pureed mango. Ice dilutes the drink just enough to mellow the flavors.

Flavor Profile:

• First taste: Sweet mango with lime brightness
• Middle notes: Fresh mint and light rum
• Finish: Clean, refreshing with subtle sweetness

Club soda adds a pleasant fizz that lightens the tropical fruit flavors. This keeps the drink from feeling too heavy.

The mint aroma enhances every sip and makes the drink feel more refreshing. Add extra lime juice if you prefer less sweetness.

This cocktail works well in hot weather or as an evening refresher. Adjust the mango-to-rum ratio to change the flavor intensity.

Substitute

If you don’t have mango, use peaches or pineapple instead. These fruits have sweet flavors that work well in this cocktail.

No fresh mint? Basil can be a good replacement. It has a different taste but still gives a nice herbal note to the drink.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and add more club soda. You can also use coconut water for a tropical twist.

If you don’t have simple syrup, make your own by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using.

For garnish, use orange slices or berries if you don’t have lime wedges or mint sprigs.
