  • 1 Cocktail Muddler or Wooden Spoon
  • 1 Large Mixing Jug
  • 1 Long-Handled Spoon
  • 1 Ice Scoop Or Serving Spoon
  • Six Tall Serving Glasses
  • Measuring Jug And Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Large Ripe Mangoes — Peeled, stoned and diced.
  • 4 Medium Limes — Approximately 100 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice.
  • 30–36 Fresh Mint Leaves — Approximately five or six leaves per glass.
  • 6 Tablespoons Sugar Or Simple Syrup — Adjust to taste.
  • 1.2 Litres Chilled Sparkling Water Or Soda Water — Adds the bubbles.
  • 6 Cups Ice Cubes Or Crushed Ice — Approximately one cup per serving.

  • 6 Fresh Mint Sprigs For Garnish — Optional
  • 6 Lime Wheels For Garnish — Optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Fresh Mango Purée

  • - Wash the mangoes thoroughly under clean running water.
  • - Peel each mango, cut the flesh away from the stone and dice it into small pieces.
  • - Place the mango chunks in a blender and blend for 30–60 seconds, or until smooth.
  • - If the mixture is too thick to blend, add one or two tablespoons of water.
  • - Taste the purée. If the mangoes are particularly sweet, you may need less added sugar.
  • For a smoother Mango Mojito Mocktail, strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve if the mango fibres are noticeable.

Step 2: Squeeze The Lime Juice

  • - Roll the limes gently against the worktop before cutting them.
  • - Cut them in half and squeeze out approximately 100 ml of juice.
  • - Remove any seeds and reserve a few thin lime wheels for decoration.
  • - Keep the freshly squeezed juice ready in a small bowl or jug.
  • Fresh lime juice gives your Mango Mojito Mocktail its lively citrus flavour. Add it gradually if you prefer a sweeter drink with a softer tang.

Step 3: Gently Muddle The Mint

  • - Place the mint leaves and sugar or simple syrup in a large mixing jug.
  • - Add a small amount of lime juice.
  • - Using a muddler or the rounded end of a wooden spoon, press the leaves gently several times.
  • - Stop when the mint becomes fragrant and the lime releases its juices.
  • Avoid grinding the leaves into tiny pieces. Excessive muddling can release bitter, grassy flavours.

Step 4: Combine The Mango And Lime

  • - Add the prepared mango purée to the mint mixture.
  • - Pour in the remaining lime juice.
  • - Stir thoroughly until the fruit, citrus and sweetener are evenly combined.
  • - Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as necessary.
  • The mixture should taste fruity, bright and slightly more concentrated than the finished drink because the sparkling water and ice will soften the flavour.

Step 5: Add The Sparkling Water

  • - Slowly add the chilled sparkling water to the mango mixture.
  • - Stir gently once or twice with a long-handled spoon.
  • - Avoid vigorous mixing, which can cause the bubbles to disappear.
  • For the liveliest fizz, add the sparkling water shortly before serving.

Step 6: Fill The Glasses With Ice

  • - Divide the ice evenly between six tall glasses.
  • - Pour the mango, lime and mint mixture into each glass.
  • - Leave a little space at the top for the bubbles and garnishes.
  • - If serving in stages, keep the remaining mixture chilled and add fresh sparkling water to each glass as required.

Step 7: Garnish And Serve Immediately

  • - Add a sprig of fresh mint to each glass.
  • - Place a lime wheel on the rim or float it on top.
  • - Add two or three small mango cubes, if desired.
  • - Serve immediately while the Mango Mojito Mocktail is cold and fizzy.
