Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>If using fresh mango chunks, blend them until smooth to create a puree. The consistency should be thick but pourable - add 1-2 teaspoons of water if needed to achieve the right texture. Fresh mango provides the most vibrant flavor, but good-quality store-bought puree works well too.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add mint leaves to your highball glass and gently muddle them just until fragrant. Press lightly with your muddler using a twisting motion - you want to release the aromatic oils without tearing the leaves, which can create bitterness.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Fill the glass two-thirds with crushed ice - the smaller ice surface area will chill the drink quickly while providing the signature "frosted" look of a classic mojito.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Pour in the mango puree, lime juice, and simple syrup. The acidity of the lime juice is essential for balancing the sweetness of the mango while activating the aromatic compounds in the mint.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine all flavors, reaching to the bottom to ensure the mint essence is distributed throughout. The mixture should turn a beautiful golden-orange color.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Top with sparkling water, adding it slowly to preserve carbonation. The bubbles will lift the aromatics toward your nose as you sip, enhancing the sensory experience.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Garnish with fresh mint sprigs (gently slap the mint between your palms first to release aromatics), a mango slice, and a lime wheel. These not only add visual appeal but also release additional aromas that enhance the drinking experience.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Serve immediately while fizzy and ice-cold. For best results, provide a straw so the flavors can be mixed with each sip - stirring occasionally helps to maintain the flavor balance as you enjoy the mocktail.</li></ol>

How long should I muddle mint leaves for a mocktail?

Muddle mint leaves gently for just 10-15 seconds using a twisting motion. You want to release the aromatic oils without tearing the leaves, which can create bitterness. The mint should appear slightly bruised and fragrant, not crushed or shredded.

Can I use frozen mango instead of fresh in a tropical mocktail?

Yes, frozen mango works brilliantly as a substitute for fresh in tropical mocktails. Allow it to thaw slightly before blending for the best texture. Frozen mango often has excellent sweetness and can even create a slightly more slushy texture that's perfect for hot summer days.

What's the best sparkling water for mojito-style mocktails?

For mojito-style mocktails, use unflavoured sparkling water with medium to high carbonation. San Pellegrino, Perrier or a good quality soda water works beautifully. Avoid flavoured varieties that might compete with the fresh mint and fruit flavours already in your drink.
