Ingredients
- 10 mint leaves plus more for garnish
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1/3 cup cubed mango
- 1 1/2 oz white rum
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz club soda
- Mango slice and edible flower for garnish
Instructions
- To a highball glass, add mint leaves and simple syrup. Gently muddle to release the oils from the mint.
- Add mango, white rum, and lime juice. Gently press the mango with a bar spoon to release its juices. Leave the spoon in the glass.
- Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice. Churn the mixture with the bar spoon to combine. Add club soda, then top with more crushed ice
- If desired, garnish with a mint sprig, mango slice, and edible flower.
Notes
- Muddle the mint gently: Press gently to release the mint’s oils without tearing it apart.
- Frozen mango works too: If fresh, ripe mango isn’t available, use frozen mango that’s slightly thawed.
- Mocktail version: To skip the buzz, replace the rum with coconut water or chilled hibiscus tea like my Hibiscus Mango Mojito Mocktail Recipe.
