Notes
The mocktail keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours without the club soda.
Make simple syrup by heating equal parts water and sugar until dissolved.
Use slightly underripe mangoes if you prefer a less sweet drink.
For extra flavor, muddle mint leaves with simple syrup before adding to the mixture.
Freeze mango chunks ahead of time to create a slushier texture.
