  • 2 –3 cups ice cubes

Optional Ingredients

  • Extra lime juice

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Fresh Mangoes

  • - Wash the mangoes thoroughly under clean running water.
  • - Place each mango on a chopping board and carefully slice the flesh away from the central stone.
  • - Remove the skin and cut the flesh into small chunks.
  • - Measure approximately 2 cups of mango flesh.
  • - Set aside a few small mango cubes if you want to use them as a garnish.

Step 2: Make the Mango Purée

  • - Transfer the mango chunks into a blender.
  • - Blend for approximately 30–60 seconds until completely smooth.
  • - If the mangoes are exceptionally thick or fibrous, add 1–2 tablespoons of drinking water.
  • - Pass the purée through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a silky texture.
  • - Measure out 2 cups of mango purée and set aside.
  • Avoid adding too much water because you want the finished drink to retain its rich mango flavour.

Step 3: Prepare the Citrus Fruits

  • - Wash the orange, lemon, lime and cucumber thoroughly.
  • - Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds.
  • - Cut the cucumber into thin slices or ribbons.
  • - Squeeze the fresh lime juice into a small bowl.
  • - Remove any seeds from the citrus juice.
  • - Refrigerate the prepared garnishes until needed.

Step 4: Combine the Mango and Grenadine

  • - Pour the mango purée into a large mixing jug.
  • - Add ⅓ cup of grenadine syrup.
  • - Pour in ¼ cup of fresh lime juice.
  • - Stir gently for approximately 20–30 seconds until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • - Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or acidity if necessary.
  • The mango and grenadine combination creates the beautiful fruity foundation of your Mango Chapman Mocktail.

Step 5: Add the Orange Soda

  • - Slowly pour 3 cups of chilled orange soda into the mango mixture.
  • - Stir gently using a long-handled spoon.
  • - Avoid vigorous mixing because excessive stirring can reduce the carbonation.
  • - Check that the orange flavour blends evenly with the mango.

Step 6: Add the Lemon-Lime Soda

  • - Pour in the remaining 3 cups of chilled lemon-lime soda.
  • - Fold gently into the mixture.
  • - Stir just enough to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • - Observe the beautiful golden-orange colour as the bubbles rise through the drink.
  • At this stage, your Mango Chapman Mocktail should have a lovely tropical appearance and refreshing sparkling texture.

Step 7: Chill the Drink

  • - Cover the mixing jug.
  • - Place it inside the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.
  • - Keep the prepared fruit garnishes refrigerated separately.
  • - Avoid adding ice to the main jug during chilling because melting ice can dilute the flavour.
  • For the best carbonation, add the sparkling drinks shortly before serving if you are preparing the mango base in advance.

Step 8: Prepare the Serving Glasses

  • - Arrange six tall serving glasses on a clean serving tray.
  • - Add ice cubes to each glass.
  • - Place a few cucumber slices inside each glass.
  • - Add an orange slice and a lemon wheel.
  • - Include a few mango cubes if desired.

Step 9: Pour and Garnish

  • - Remove the chilled mango mixture from the refrigerator.
  • - Give it a gentle stir to redistribute the mango.
  • - Pour the Mango Chapman Mocktail into the prepared glasses.
  • - Leave a little space at the top for the bubbles.
  • - Finish each glass with a fresh mint sprig.
  • - Add a straw if desired.
  • - Serve immediately while cold and sparkling.
