Virgin Mango Mojito is a refreshing non-alcoholic summer drink. You only need a handful of ingredients available in most kitchens, sweet mangoes and a trusty blender. This rock star virgin mojito is ready in under 5 minutes – no kidding!
PinSummers in India are harsh. The mercury soars, and with it, so do our tempers. It’s hard to function normally when your body is trying to battle against a soaring temperature – but this cooling, delicious mango mojito surely helps us keep calm and get going.
Alcohol-free beverages such as this are great for cooling the body, suitable for everyone (kid-friendly, good for lactose-intolerant, vegan, or gluten-allergic peeps), and safe to serve at parties where one is unsure of guests’ drinking preferences.
Since this is a virgin mojito, there’s no alcohol in it, but one can add a splash of white rum, vodka, or sparkling wine, if preferred, to convert this into a snazzy co*cktail.
PinMango Mojito requires no cooking and can be done in a flash.
Before assembling the drink in glasses, we need to prepare:
- Mango Pulp/Juice
- Lime Mint Blend
Mango Juice: Choose a good quality, ripe mango pulp for making the juice. Use little water and sugar to make puree or more like juice. Don’t use the pulp too close to the seed; this part is quite sour and has a strong flavour.
Lime Mint Blend: Add a few mint leaves, lemon wedges, and Himalayan pink salt to the glass. Gently crush them using a wooden spoon. Don’t add too much mint because it might change the colour and taste of the drink. Adding this blend is optional but makes the mango mojito refreshing, cooling, and citrusy.
Sweetener: One can add any sweetener of choice to the mango mojito, like stevia, honey, powdered sugar, or sugar syrup. Or you can add the granulated sugar while blending the mango pulp. If the mango juice is sweet enough, skip adding any sweetener.

Mango Mojito Recipe Variations
co*cktail: To turn this virgin mojito into a co*cktail, add a dash of white rum/vodka/sparkling wine to it and mix before serving
Garnishing: Dip the rim of the glasses into the water and then powdered sugar or pink salt for a nice pub/bar style touch. Cubed small pieces of mango and green chilli slices can be added as a garnish to the mojito.
Flavour Variation: Add orange juice instead of lemon juice and a thin slice of orange – to try a variation of this drink with an orange flavour.

Ingredients
Ingredients For Mango Juice:
- 1 Cup mango pulp (ripe and sweet)
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1 Cup chilled or cold water
Other Ingredients For Mojito:
- 4 – 5 fresh mint leaves
- Himalayan Pink Salt
- 4 – 5 lemon wedges
- 5 – 6 ice-cubes, as required
- 1 litre club soda or sparkling water
Instructions
Make Mango Juice:
Combine mango pulp with water and sugar. Blend smooth to a juice like consistency. Keep in the fridge until ready to make mojito.
Make Mojito:
In a serving glass, add 2 – 3 mint leaves, half a teaspoon of salt, lemon wedge, and gently crush them using a wooden spoon to release the flavor of mint leaves.
Fill each glass with ¼ Cup of mango juice. Add ice cubes.
Fill each glass with club soda or sparkling water and stir. You can add alcohol as well at this stage.
Serve virgin mango mojito immediately.
Recipe Notes:
- Readymade mango juice or canned mango pulp can be used instead of fresh mango juice.
- Taste mango pulp first and then add sugar accordingly. You can skip the sugar if mango is sweet enough.
- You can store homemade mango puree in the fridge for a week.
- Do not crush lemon juice and mint leaves for too long as they might turn bitter.
- I prefer using Himalayan Pink Salt for co*cktails. You can use any kind of flavored salt for the purpose. Or add a dash of red paprika or green chili to spice it up.
- If using canned mangoes, adjust the quantity of sweetener accordingly in the drink – the virgin mojito needs all notes of sweetness, tanginess, and the kick from the soda to be balanced for that perfect invigorating flavor.
