Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Lime slices and jalapeño slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine diced mango, chopped jalapeño, and lime juice.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add agave syrup for additional sweetness.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp if you prefer a smoother texture.
- In a large pitcher, mix the mango-jalapeño puree with sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve in glasses filled with ice and garnish with lime and jalapeño slices.
Notes
Tip: Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of agave syrup according to your taste.
For a milder drink, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before blending, as they contain most of the heat. You can also adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your heat preference.
Experiment with the garnish by adding fresh mint or a lime wheel for extra freshness. This mocktail pairs wonderfully with spicy snacks or tropical dishes.
Store any leftover mango puree in the refrigerator for up to three days, and feel free to double or triple the recipe for larger gatherings!
