Mango Mojito Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 mint leaves
• a good pinch of salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• juice of 1 lime
• 1 lime sliced
• 1 cup mango puree from fresh mango or can, or use mango nectar or thick juice (I used Looza mango nectar).
• 1/2 to 1 cup chilled water or club soda
• 1 to 2 oz rum, optional
• 1.5 cups or more ice cubes

Steps

1. Share the mint leaves between 2 to 3 cocktail glasses.
2. Put 1/4 tsp sugar, a pinch of salt and a thin lime slice into each glass. Muddle to bruise the mint, using a wooden flat-bottom muddler/stick, a pestle, the back end of a spatula or a spoon.
3. Divide the juice of a lime between the glasses and fill them with ice cubes.
4. Add mango puree, rum if using, and water. Add extra sugar if desired.
5. Add mint leaves or lime slices as garnish before serving.
