Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh mango chunks

- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp sugar or honey optional
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- lime slices for garnish
- Mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Blend the mango: Cut mangoes into chunks and blend until completely smooth. Pour the puree into a measuring cup.
- Muddle mint leaves: Place fresh mint in glasses and gently press with muddler to release essential oils without crushing completely.
- Mix base ingredients: Add ice to glasses, then pour in mango puree and fresh lime juice. Stir these components together.
- Add the bubbles: Slowly pour sparkling water while leaving room at the top. Stir very gently to combine without losing carbonation.
- Garnish and serve: Top with fresh mint sprig and lime slice. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy for best taste experience.
Notes
- Ripe mangoes make this drink naturally sweet without needing additional sugar or sweeteners.
- Freeze mango chunks ahead of time to use instead of some ice for more intense flavor.
- Make puree ahead and store separately from other ingredients until ready to serve your guests.
- Adjust sweetness based on your mango ripeness and personal preference before adding sparkling water.
- For parties, prepare everything except sparkling water and combine individual servings when guests arrive.
