Easy Mango Mule Mocktail Recipe You Can Try After Work Today
The mango mule mocktail is a tropical reinterpretation of the classic Moscow mule mocktail, originally known for its ginger profile. This version maintains the same structural balance—spirit, citrus, and carbonation—but adds a vibrancy and slightly pulpy body. The inclusion of mango also gives the drink a more opaque appearance and a richer texture, setting it apart from the traditional mule’s crisp transparency.
Ingredients For The Mango Mule Mocktail [Makes 1 serving]
- 30 ml mango purée
- 15 ml fresh lime juice
- 10 ml ginger soda
- Mint leaves, for garnish
- Lime wedge, for garnish
- Ice cubes
How To Make The Mango Mule Mocktail
- Fill a copper mug with ice cubes to chill it.
- In a mocktail shaker, combine mango purée, and fresh lime juice. Shake briefly to ensure a smooth blend.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared mug over ice.
- Top up with ginger soda and stir gently to preserve its effervescence. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
Mango Mule Mocktail Preparation And Serving Key Tips
- Use a fine mesh strainer when adding the mango purée to eliminate fibre and pulp, ensuring a smoother texture in the drink.
- Chill the mug or serving glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before preparation to help maintain temperature and keep the mocktail crisp longer.
- Add the ginger soda last and avoid shaking it with the other ingredients to retain its carbonation and prevent flatness.
- Consider using fresh mango purée made from overripe mangoes for a richer sweetness and consistency without adding any extra sugar.
- Top the drink with crushed ice instead of whole cubes for a slushier consistency that balances out the sweetness and spice of the ginger soda.
- Add a dehydrated lime wheel alongside the lime wedge for contrast, and add citrus aroma without affecting the drink’s balance.
- To create a new version, rim the glass with a light dusting of Tajín or chilli-salt mix for a tangy and spicy contrast to the mango flavour.
