Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Approximately 500 g Ripe Mango Chunks — Peeled and pitted mango flesh.

  • 120 ml Fresh Lime Juice — Approximately 4–6 limes depending on size.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Fresh Mangoes

  • - Wash the mangoes thoroughly under clean running water.
  • - Slice the flesh away from the central stones.
  • - Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into small chunks.
  • - Measure approximately 3 cups of mango chunks.
  • - Reserve a few thin mango slices for garnish.
  • Use ripe mangoes with a naturally sweet flavour. If the mangoes are particularly fibrous, strain the purée after blending.

Step 2: Prepare The Lime Juice

  • - Wash the limes and roll them gently against the chopping board.
  • - Cut each lime in half.
  • - Use a citrus juicer to extract approximately 120 ml of fresh lime juice.
  • - Remove any seeds from the juice.
  • Fresh lime juice balances the mango's sweetness and gives the Sparkling Mango Mocktail a refreshing citrus flavour.

Step 3: Blend The Mango Purée

  • - Place the mango chunks into a clean blender.
  • - Add approximately half of the lime juice.
  • - Add 2 tablespoons of honey or simple syrup, if needed.
  • - Blend on medium-high speed for 30–60 seconds, or until smooth.
  • - Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  • - Blend briefly again to remove any remaining chunks.
  • If you prefer a lighter texture, add 2–3 tablespoons of cold water and blend again.
  • For a smoother Sparkling Mango Mocktail, pour the purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any stubborn fibres.

Step 4: Prepare The Mint

  • - Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cool running water.
  • - Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • - Place the leaves in a small bowl.
  • - Gently press them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their aromatic oils.
  • Avoid crushing the mint too aggressively, as this can release bitter flavours.

Step 5: Combine The Mango And Lime

  • - Pour the mango purée into a large mixing pitcher.
  • - Add the remaining lime juice.
  • - Stir gently until evenly combined.
  • - Taste the mixture before adding more sweetener.
  • - Adjust the sweetness and acidity to your preference.
  • The mixture should taste fruity, sweet and slightly tangy. Preparing this mango base before adding sparkling water helps maintain consistent flavour.

Step 6: Add The Sparkling Water

  • - Ensure the sparkling water is thoroughly chilled.
  • - Slowly pour approximately 750 ml of sparkling water into the mango mixture.
  • - Stir gently once or twice with a bar spoon.
  • - Avoid vigorous stirring to preserve the carbonation.
  • For a stronger mango flavour, use slightly less sparkling water. For a lighter drink, add a little more.

Step 7: Assemble The Glasses

  • - Place a few ice cubes into each of the six drinking glasses.
  • - Divide the mango mixture evenly among the glasses.
  • - Ensure the mango purée is distributed evenly.
  • - For a layered presentation, pour the mango base into the glasses first and add a small splash of sparkling water on top.

Step 8: Garnish And Serve

  • - Add a fresh mango slice to the rim of each glass.
  • - Place a thin lime wheel inside or on the edge of each glass.
  • - Add a small sprig of fresh mint.
  • - Serve immediately while the Sparkling Mango Mocktail is cold and bubbly.
