Ingredients
1 1/2 cups ripe mango, diced (about 1 large mango)
12–16 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey, to taste
2 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda
2 cups ice cubes, plus more for serving
Lime slices or wedges, for garnish
Pinch of fine salt (optional)
Instructions
Prep the mango: Peel, pit, and dice mango into small, even cubes. If using frozen mango, thaw for 5 minutes so it blends smoothly.
Blend the base: In a blender, add diced mango, lime juice, sweetener, and a pinch of salt (if using). Blend for 20–30 seconds until silky and pourable.
Muddle the mint: In a pitcher, add mint leaves, 1 teaspoon sweetener, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Gently press and twist with a muddler for 10–15 seconds until fragrant.
Combine: Pour the mango purée into the pitcher. Add 2 cups ice, then slowly top with chilled sparkling water. Stir gently from the bottom to combine while keeping the bubbles lively.
Taste & tweak: Sip and adjust sweetness or lime to your preference. If too acidic or tangy, add a bit more sweetener or mango purée.
Serve: Pour into tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish with lime slices, extra mint, and a lime wedge for presentation.
Notes
Store the mango-lime base in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add sparkling water and ice fresh before serving.
For a slushy version, use frozen mango cubes instead of fresh.
Use a fine-mesh strainer for smooth and seed-free purée.
