Mango Mojito

Made with mango sorbet, white rum, lime, and mint, this Mango Mojito recipe makes the perfect refreshing and delicious cocktail for a hot summer day!

Mango Mojitos

A couple of weeks ago I shared a recipe for no-churn mango sorbet. And while I could have eaten the whole batch right out of the pan, I thought it would be fun to put it to use in creating some cocktails. So, that’s exactly what I did.

I will be sharing all of those recipes with you, but in this post, we’re going to mix up some mango mojitos! These mango mojitos are the perfect cocktail for summer entertaining, and they are easy and simple to make.

What Do you Need for this Mango Mojito Recipe?

If you’ve never made a mojito, have no fear as the process is simple and you don’t need many items. Here are the ingredients:

• mango sorbet: You can get my homemade recipe HERE, but store-bought is great too.
• lime juice: Always use fresh whenever possible. It makes all the difference.
• white rum: Use your favorite. I’m using this white rum from Maggie’s Rum Farm which is local to Pittsburgh.
• fresh mint: Pineapple mint is my favorite because of its variegated leaves, but you can use whatever you like.
• simple syrup: Again, you can find my recipe HERE, but you can also use store-bought. You will find simple syrup in the cocktail mixer section at the grocery store.
• soda/sparkling water: I made a new discovery here. See below:

Most mojitos are finished off with some sort of lemon-lime soda, so when I was recipe testing that was my plan too. However, when I went to add the soda, I realized I never bought any. Oops! Then I remembered I had some Topo Chico Twist of Lime so I used that instead. What a happy accident! I loved it. It added that fizz and a touch of flavor without added sugar. Perfection.

Side note: If you’ve never had Topo Chico before, I highly recommend it. It made me a sparkling water fan.

Let’s Stir Up a Mango Mojito!

You can find a detailed ingredients list and instructions in the printable recipe card below.

1. Add the mango sorbet and some ice to a highball glass.
2. Add the rum, simple syrup, lime juice, and mint leaves.

3. Stir with a spoon or straw to combine.
4. Garnish with mint leaves.
5. Sip and enjoy!

Effortless, right?

The flavor combination is so good here. While I love a classic mojito, the mango has a delicious tropical twist. You need to give this one a try.

Make it a Mocktail

This recipe perfectly adapts itself to a mocktail. (I feel like most mojitos do.) To make this an alcohol-free drink, just leave out the rum. It’s that simple. Thanks to the mango sorbet, lime juice, and mint, this drink is still loaded with flavor even sans the rum!

Flavor Variations

As you might expect, you can use any fruit that you enjoy to create a flavorful mojito recipe. Here are a few examples:

• Pineapple Mojito
• Raspberry Mojito 
• Watermelon Mojito
• Blueberry Mojito

That’s A Wrap!

I hope you enjoyed this tasty cocktail recipe. You need to add these Mango Mojitos to your cocktail-making repertoire.

Cheers!
