Equipment

Ingredients

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz mango puree
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• 2 tsp sugar
• Club soda
• Ice cubes
• Mango slice and mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

• Add mint leaves and sugar to the cocktail shaker.

• Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
• Strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice.

Notes

Fresh mango puree works best for this recipe. To make it, blend ripe mango chunks until smooth and strain if needed.

Store-bought mango puree can work as a substitute when fresh mangoes aren’t available.

For a mocktail version, replace the rum with coconut water and add a splash of vanilla extract.

Make sure to muddle the mint leaves gently to avoid bitter flavors from over-muddling.

The drink can be made sweeter by adding more sugar or mango puree to taste.

Tasting Notes

This tropical mango mojito brings sweet, tart, and minty flavors together in perfect harmony. The fresh mango puree adds natural sweetness and a smooth, velvety texture.

Refreshing mint leaves and zesty lime juice create a bright, citrusy kick that balances the mango’s sweetness.

The rum adds warmth and depth without overpowering the other ingredients.

The cocktail has a light golden-orange color with flecks of muddled mint throughout. Small lime pieces and mint leaves float on top, making it visually appealing.

Key flavor notes:

• Fresh mango: Sweet and tropical
• Lime juice: Bright and citrusy
• Mint leaves: Cool and fresh
• White rum: Subtle warmth
• Club soda: Light effervescence

The drink starts sweet on the palate, followed by tangy lime and cooling mint. It finishes clean and crisp from the sparkling club soda.

Club soda gives this mojito a pleasant fizzy texture that makes it extra refreshing. The mango puree creates a smooth mouthfeel that coats the tongue.

Substitute

Don’t have all the ingredients for a tropical mango mojito? Several swaps can make this drink just as tasty.

Replace fresh mango with frozen mango chunks or mango puree. Each 1/2 cup of fresh mango equals 1/2 cup frozen or 4 tablespoons of puree.

White rum can be swapped with vodka or gin. For a non-alcoholic version, use coconut water or club soda instead.

Fresh mint leaves are key, but in a pinch dried mint will work. Use 1 teaspoon of dried mint for every 1/4 cup of fresh leaves.

Sugar substitutes work well in this drink. Try:

• Honey (3/4 the amount of sugar)
• Agave nectar (2/3 the amount of sugar)
• Stevia (follow package directions)

No lime juice? Try these options:

• Lemon juice (same amount)
• Orange juice (double the amount)
• Bottled lime juice (same amount)

Club soda adds the fizz, but these work too:

• Sprite or 7-Up
• Ginger ale
• Sparkling water

Note: The taste will change slightly with each substitute.
