Mango Mojito
The Mango Mojito is a delightful twist on the classic mojito, bringing a burst of tropical flavor to this refreshing cocktail. Combining the sweet taste of mango rum with the freshness of mint and lime, this drink is perfect for summer gatherings or whenever you want to transport yourself to a tropical paradise. Here’s how to make this invigorating cocktail.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Mango Rum
- 3 oz Club Soda
- 4 Mint Leaves
- 1 Lime cut into wedges
- 4-5 Mango Pieces
- Ice Cubes
Instructions
Muddle the Mint, Lime, and Mango:
- In the bottom of an old-fashioned glass, muddle 4 mint leaves, a lime wedge, and 4-5 fresh mango pieces. This releases the aromatic oils from the mint, the juice from the lime, and the sweet flavor from the mango, creating a fresh and fruity base for the cocktail.
Add the Mango Rum:
- Pour 1 1/2 oz of mango rum into the glass. The mango rum enhances the drink’s tropical essence with its sweet and fruity flavor.
Top with Club Soda:
- Add 3 oz of club soda to the glass. The club soda provides a refreshing fizz that balances the sweetness of the mango rum and the tartness of the lime.
Add Ice:
- Fill the glass with ice cubes. This chills the drink and helps to mix the flavors as the ice melts slightly.
Serve:
- Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint and an extra lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch of freshness and visual appeal.
