Mango Mojito Recipe – Sharmis Passion

Mango Mojito is a cool summer drink made using ripe mango puree, lime, mint and lots of ice. It is very refreshing and feels comfortable when the weather is very hot. Its taste is mildly sweet with mild sourness and strong mint flavor. It also keeps you hydrated during extreme summer days which is really needed.

This is not a heavy mocktail filled with syrup or soda. It is more simple and light, which you can easily make at home. It tastes great during summer days and one does not feel heavy after drinking it. You don’t need any fancy equipment or ingredients to make this drink.

About Mango Mojito

Mango Mojito is just the fruit version of the classic Mojito drink. Here mango puree is mixed with lemon and mint which gives a refreshing tropical taste. Mango makes the drink naturally sweet and also gives a nice color. This drink looks very tempting when served in clear glasses.

It has a slightly thick texture but is still very light and refreshing. When the crushed ice slowly melts, it mixes well with the mango and lemon juice. Mint gives a cooling sensation which makes this drink perfect for summers. Every sip feels refreshing and is very easy to drink especially on extremely hot afternoons.

You can change this drink in many ways depending on your preference. If you want a little fizz you can add soda water. You can also add more lemon and less mango if you like your drink more spicy than sweet. Anyone can make this drink easily, even if you are a novice in the kitchen.

I usually make this when mangoes are easily available at home. It hardly takes a few minutes and tastes much better than packed juice.

Mango Mojito Ingredients

• Mango – I have used it for natural sweetness and flavour, you can use any sweet mango variety or even canned pulp.
• Sugar – I have used lemon for sweetness and to balance the taste. You can add a little more or less depending on the sweetness of the mango or even use honey.
• ice cubes – I crushed them coarsely and used them to cool the drink well. You can use regular ice cubes but crushed ice works better.
• lemon wedges – They are used for crushing and juicing, it gives freshness and mild spiciness. You can also add lime instead.
• Mint leaves – I have added for taste and cooling effect. It gives good aroma to the drink, avoid using old or withered leaves. I have used mint sprigs mainly for decoration and extra freshness.
• cold water – I mix everything in it and the drink becomes light. You can also use soda water but plain water also tastes good.

Expert Tips

• Mango – I make sure to use only ripe and sweet mangoes. Sour mango will spoil the taste, so always taste before using.
• crushed mint – I try not to crush the mint too much as it can be bitter. I just press gently so the flavor comes out.
• crushed ice – I usually crush ice using a trowel and a pestle. It cools the drink faster and mixes well with the mango puree.
• adjustment of taste – I always mix and taste the drink before adding all the water. You can easily adjust the sweetness or lemon at this stage.
• flavors – For different taste you can also use juice of different fruits, for unique taste you can use passion fruit or litchi.

serving and storage

Serve it with a mint sprig and a lemon slice. It works well as a welcome drink or a cooling drink in the evening. It is best to drink fresh as the ice melts quickly. Do not store mixed mojitos for long periods of time. You can keep the mango puree ready in the refrigerator and mix it just before serving.
