Ingredients
- Mango pulp: 1 cup
- Fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- Simple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- Club soda: 1 cup
- Ice: 1 cup
- Mint leaves: 5
- Garnish: 1 mango slice
Mango Pulp
Mango pulp is used for its sweet, tropical flavor that serves as the foundation for this mocktail. The 1 cup measurement strikes the perfect balance; less would make the mango too subtle, whereas more could overpower. Without it, you'd miss the heart of the drink! Alternative: Peach or apricot puree can be used for a different fruity taste.

Fresh Lime Juice
The 2 tablespoons of lime juice provide an essential acidic counterpoint to the mango's sweetness, brightening the drink. Too little lime, and it falls flat; too much, and it turns sour. Omitting it would result in a drink that's too sweet. Alternative: Lemon juice can offer a similar citric balance.
Alex Green
Simple Syrup
1 tablespoon of simple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to complement the natural sugars of the mango pulp. Overdoing it could make the mocktail cloying, while using less might not sufficiently temper the tartness of the lime. Without simple syrup, the drink could be too tart. Alternative: Honey or agave syrup can be subbed in for a different kind of sweetness.
Emma Rose
Club Soda
Club soda adds the fizz, making the mocktail more refreshing and lighter on the palate with 1 cup. Not enough fizz and the drink feels flat; too much and it can dilute the flavors. Club soda's absence would result in a juice-like texture. Alternative: Sparkling water or ginger ale for a slightly different effervescence or a hint of ginger flavor.
Mary Mitkina
Ice
1 cup of ice chills the drink, keeps it cool, and adds a bit of dilution, which brings harmony to the flavors as it slowly melts. No ice means a warm and intensely flavored drink, which isn't as refreshing. Alternative: Frozen mango cubes can chill the drink and enhance the mango flavor as they melt.
Alex Green
Mint Leaves
5 mint leaves introduce a fresh, herbal note that complements the tropical and citrus flavors. Too many can overpower with a menthol taste; too few, and you'll miss the refreshing aroma. No mint would leave the drink lacking in complexity. Alternative: Basil leaves could offer an interesting twist with their sweet, peppery aroma.
Emma Rose
Garnish: 1 Mango Slice
This garnish adds visual appeal and hints at the mango flavor within. It also can be nibbled on for an extra mango zing. Without the garnish, the presentation suffers, but the taste remains largely the same. Alternative: A slice of lime or a pineapple wedge could work for a different look and subtle flavor note.
