• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 cups coconut water
• 1/4 cup simple syrup
• Club soda for topping

Instructions

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.

Tasting Notes

The Zesty Mango Cooler offers a bright, tropical flavor profile with fresh mango taking center stage. Each sip starts with sweet, juicy mango notes followed by hints of citrus and mint.

The texture is smooth and refreshing, with tiny bubbles from the sparkling water adding a pleasant fizz. The ice keeps the drink extra cold and gives it a slushie-like quality when first served.

A gentle kick of ginger brings warmth and complexity without overpowering the mango. The lime adds a tart brightness that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Primary: Sweet mango, citrus
• Secondary: Mint, ginger
• Finish: Cool, crisp, refreshing

The drink’s aroma matches its taste perfectly. Fresh mango scents mix with mint and lime to create an inviting tropical fragrance that makes each sip more enjoyable.

The mocktail keeps its flavor balance even as the ice melts. The taste stays consistent from first sip to last, making it perfect for slow sipping on warm days.

Substitute

Don’t have fresh mango? Use frozen mango chunks or mango puree instead. Each serving requires 1 cup of frozen mango or ¾ cup of puree.

You can swap the lime juice with lemon juice in equal amounts. Fresh or bottled juice both work well.

Replace club soda with sparkling water, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda. These options keep the drink fizzy and refreshing.

Sugar-free alternatives:

• Stevia
• Monk fruit sweetener
• Erythritol

For a twist, try adding these fruits:

• Pineapple
• Peach
• Passion fruit
• Orange

Want to skip the mint? Try basil or rosemary as garnish options. These herbs add a nice aroma and fresh taste to the drink.

You can replace the simple syrup with:

• Agave nectar
• Honey
• Maple syrup

Mix and match these substitutes to create your own version of this tasty mocktail.
