About Mango Mojito
Mango Mojito is a light and refreshing Cuban-style cocktail, where sweet mango puree is mixed with club soda, lime juice, mint leaves, sugar, white rum, and ice cubes. There is a very subtle spicy kick from the jalapeno in this drink.
This mango mojito with a tropical twist can be made using freshly made mango puree using fresh or frozen mangoes or even from store-bought mango nectar. If using mango nectar, you can make it around the year.
You can make this cocktail without alcohol too. Just skip the rum and keep the rest of the recipe the same.
This drink is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free, so make it without any hesitation this summer.
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
Ingredients
Mango Puree – I have added fresh mango puree to the cocktail, but you can use canned puree or mango nectar as well.
I prefer to puree Alphonso mangoes as they are sweet and juicy, but you can go for any variety of sweet mangoes.
Rum – White rum is the alcohol traditionally added to mojitos. I have used Bacardi white rum to make this. You can use any white rum that you have.
If you want to experiment, you can add vodka or tequila instead of white rum.
Ice Cubes and Soda – You will also need lots of ice cubes to serve this drink. Club soda is needed to fill up the glass.
Others – You will also need fresh mint leaves, granulated white sugar, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chopped fresh Jalapeno.
The spicy kick from the jalapeños is to die for. If you don’t have Jalapenos, you can use green chilies too.
You can also add pineapple juice, strawberry puree, or even peach puree to this mojito recipe for a taste change.
How To Make Mango Mojito
Add 6-8 fresh mint leaves and 4 teaspoon white granulated sugar to a cocktail shaker.
Muddle using a muddler or the back of a spoon until the mint leaves are macerated. This step is important to release the flavor of mint.
Add
- 2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ sliced jalapeño
- 1 cup mango puree
- 4 oz (120 ml) white rum
to the shaker and shake well.
Fill 2 tall glasses with ice cubes.
Add the mango mix to the glasses equally.
Top with chilled club soda. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can make this delicious drink in a blender. Add chopped mangoes, mint leaves, sugar, lime juice, jalapeno, and white rum to a blender jar and make a smooth puree.
Fill the cocktail glasses with ice cubes, pour the mango mixture over the ice, and top with club soda. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
You can make a non-alcoholic mango mojito by just omitting the white rum from the recipe.
Pro Tips By Neha
If you want a restaurant-like touch in your drink, dip the rim of the glasses in water and then dip in powdered sugar or pink salt.
Like to have a variation? Substitute the lime juice with orange juice and add some orange rind slices to the glass.
You can also add some mango cubes into the drink for a nice bite in between the sips.
If you are using canned mango puree, adjust the amount of sugar accordingly, as the canned puree is very sweet and you don’t want your drink to be extra sweet.
Storage Suggestions
You can make the mango mixture and store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
When ready to serve, add ice cubes to the serving glass, add the mango mixture, and top with club soda.
