Summertime is all about fruity drinks! Recipes like this Watermelon Mocktail, Tropical Smoothie and Mango Lassi are always on rotation! This mango drink is a non alcoholic version of the Mojito cocktail – it’s made with mint, lime with an exotic twist of mango. I like to top it up with sparkling water or soda for refreshing fizz!

Mango Mocktail Ingredients
Mango Juice Alternatively, use either homemade mango pulp or store bought. You can make mango puree at home if you blend fresh mango. You will need a blender. Lime – fresh lime juice is best but you can use bottled too. Sparkling water – aka club soda Mint – You need fresh mint leaves and optionally a mint sprig as a garnish as an alternative, use fresh basil leaves Optional Sugar or sweetener if your mango isn’t sweet enough. Add in a simple syrup or agave A tiny pinch of salt can bring out the sweetness of the mango.
Variations
To make it boozy add white rum or vodka. Flavour variations by adding different flavours. Add a hint of spice to make a spicy mango mocktail by adding a slice of fresh jalapeno to the mint and lime. Adding fresh ginger is another option. Add pineapple juice to make it a mango pineapple mocktail. You can also add orange juice. Use coconut water in place of the sparkling water. Another option is to use ginger-beer for a new depth of flavour!
How to make Mango Mocktail
Take serving glasses, add lime slices, few mint leaves and 1 tablespoon sugar in each glass. Using muddler or wooden spoon or rolling pin muddle for a few seconds. Fill the glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the mango pulp/juice over the ice cubes, filling the glasses almost to 1/3. Top it up with sparkling water or sprite. Give the mocktails a gentle stir with a spoon to incorporate the flavors. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime. Serve the mango mocktails immediately and enjoy!
Pro Tips
If making your own mango puree use fresh, ripe mangoes for rich mango nectar Add sugar as required – taste test your mangoes first Use fresh mint and lime juice for best results Do not over muddle the mint and lime as they turn bitter Only add the soda just before serving – otherwise you will loose fizz and the taste overtime will be altered.

Mango Mocktail is great as a refreshing drink on its own but also alongside snacks, lunch and dinner! Great snack options for game days, get-togethers, or picnics include these Mexican Roasted Peanuts, Air Fryer Banana Chips, Onion Bhaji and Air Fryer Triple Cooked Chips. Mango Mocktail pairs really well with curries too like Indian Vegetable Curry or Bombay Potatoes.
