Why I Love This Recipe

Is there anything quite like a delightful mocktail on a warm summer day? As temperatures rise and patio season beckons, this spicy mango mojito mocktail is the refreshing summer sipper you’ve been dreaming of!

It also completely busts the myth that mocktails have to either be boring or super complicated. The mango, mint, and lime flavors are so enticing while still capturing the essence of a classic mojito. And all you have to do is blend, top with sparkling water, and garnish to your heart’s content. Once you see how to make a mango mojito cocktail, you’ll be whipping them up constantly!

As I’m in my third trimester of pregnancy, I’m really enjoying creating special drinks to enjoy with friends that come over. Having something a little sweet and a little spicy is the perfect blend for my cravings!

Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering or simply looking for a delicious non-alcoholic beverage, this mocktail is sure to hit the spot. Just be careful: once your friends try this drink, they may start spontaneously appearing on your patio every time the sun comes out!

What’s In A Mango Mojito Cocktail?

I love the balance of sweet, fresh mint and zippy lime you get from a good mojito. And adding a sweet element with the mango really makes this drink sing!

This mango mojito mocktail recipe combines the vibrant flavors of mango, fresh mint leaves, and zesty lime juice with just a touch of jalapeño heat. It’s so fresh and bright, I can’t get enough!

By blending the ingredients with water, we create a luscious base for our mocktail. It has this wonderful viscosity so the whole drink has a great mouth feel.

I just love the tropical sweetness of the mango with the coolness of the mint and the tanginess of the lime. And the addition of the jalapeño provides a subtle kick that adds depth and intrigue to each sip. Top with sparkling water in place of alcohol to add that delightful bit of effervescence!

Variations for Your Spicy Mango Mocktail

This drink is completely customizable, and there are so many different twists to try. Let your creativity run wild until you find your perfect patio sipper!

If you’re not a fan of spice, feel free to omit the jalapeño. You could also reduce the amount or just throw a few slices into your finished mocktail if you’re looking for the flavor without the heat.

Personally, I don’t strain the mixture after blending because I like the flecks of mint. However, you could easily blend the base without the mint and then add fresh leaves to your drink if you’d prefer.

Finally, I love experimenting with different garnishes. A wedge of frozen mango, an additional jalapeño slice, or even a salt rim. Do whatever feels good to you!
