- Simple syrup: 0.5 oz(15ml)
- Fresh mint leaves: 10
- Soda water: 4 oz(120ml)

Fresh Mango Puree
The star of the show! Mango puree brings a tropical sweetness and velvety texture. Without it, you'd lose the 'mango' in your Mojito Mocktail! Too little and the drink would lack character, too much might overpower the subtler mint and lime flavors.
Alex Green
Lime Juice
Freshly squeezed to add that essential zesty kick which balances the sweetness of the mango and syrup. Omitting it would make a one-dimensional sweet drink. Swap with lemon juice for a different citrus note.

Simple Syrup
It's the sweet glue that harmonizes the flavors! If we skip the syrup, the drink could become too tart. It’s like going to a party and forgetting to invite your sweetest friend! Adjust to taste if your mangoes are naturally sweeter or you prefer a tarter mocktail.
Mary Mitkina
Fresh Mint Leaves
Mint is the refreshing soul of any Mojito. It adds a cool, fresh dimension. No mint means no Mojito! It's like Batman without his cape; sure, he can still save Gotham, but it’s just not the same.
Alex Green
Soda Water
The fizz that brings the buzz! Soda water adds the sparkle and lightness making the mocktail delightfully sippable. Without it, you might as well be drinking a smoothie.
Emma Rose
Ice Cubes
Not here just to chill; ice helps to dilute the mixture to the perfect sipping strength. Without ice, the drink would be too intense and warm. It’s like going on a summer holiday without packing your shorts!

Frequently Asked Questions on Mango Mojito Mocktail
Can I make a large batch of Mango Mojito Mocktail for a party?
Yes, you can easily scale up the recipe to make a large batch. Just multiply the ingredient quantities by the number of servings you need, mix everything except the soda water in a large pitcher, and add the soda water just before serving to maintain the fizziness.
Is Mango Mojito Mocktail suitable for children?
Absolutely! Since it's a non-alcoholic drink, it is a perfect refreshing beverage for children, especially during hot summer days.
How can I store leftover Mango Mojito Mocktail?
It's best to drink your mocktail fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 24 hours. Just remember that the soda will lose its fizz over time.

You can opt for a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or erythritol if you're looking to reduce the sugar content. Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
