Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need to grab. I list the amounts clearly.

3 oz Mango Puree (using fresh mango gives the best taste)
1 oz Fresh Orange Juice
½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
½ oz Simple Syrup (you can add more or less sweetness)
2-3 dashes Orange Blossom Water (start with just a little, it has a strong flavor)
2 oz Sparkling Water or Club Soda (make sure its cold)
Ice Cubes
Garnish: Maybe a mint sprig or a safe-to-eat flower (this is optional)

Tools You’ll Need

You only need a few simple things:

A Cocktail Shaker
Something to measure liquids (like a jigger or measuring spoons)
A Strainer (the kind with a spring or a fine mesh one works)
A nice Glass for serving (a tall highball glass or a coupe glass looks great)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s make this mocktail. Just follow these simple steps.

Step 1:
First, put ice cubes in your cocktail shaker until it’s about half full.

Step 2:
Next, pour the mango puree and orange juice and lime juice and simple syrup and orange blossom water into the shaker with the ice.

Step 3:
Then, put the lid on tightly. Shake it hard for about 15 or 20 seconds. The shaker should feel really cold on the outside.

Step 4:
Now, carefully strain the mix into your serving glass. It’s best if the glass is already chilled and has fresh ice in it.

Step 5:
Slowly add the cold sparkling water or club soda on top.

Step 6:
You can give it one very gentle stir if you like (just to mix it slightly).

Step 7:
Finally, add your garnish like a mint sprig or an edible flower if you want. (Serve it right away)

Pro Tips

Here are a few tips I’ve learned from making this mango blossom mocktail many times:

Chill Your Glass. I always put my serving glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes first. This keeps your drink cold longer. (Trust me, it helps)
Good Ingredients. Using ripe, fresh mangoes makes a big difference in flavor. If you buy puree, get a good quality one. Also, be careful with orange blossom water (good quality tastes much better and you only need a tiny bit).
Taste Before Fizz. Before adding the sparkling water, take a tiny taste of the mix from the shaker. Does it need more sweetness or more tang? Now is the time to add a bit more syrup or lime juice.
Shaking Time. Don’t shake forever. Just 15-20 seconds cools it down and mixes it perfectly without making it too watery.

Variation Ideas

Want to change it up? Here are some fun ideas I’ve tried:

Add 1 or 2 thin slices of jalapeño (take the seeds out first!) to the shaker before adding liquids. Muddle it gently first.
Put a few fresh basil leaves or mint leaves in the shaker with everything else. This gives it a nice fresh, herbal taste.
Instead of sparkling water, use tonic water for a slightly bitter taste (I found it lovely). Or maybe try lime or grapefruit flavored sparkling water.
You could use agave nectar instead of simple syrup. Or try elderflower cordial – it really goes well with the floral taste.
Swap 1 oz of the orange juice for 1 oz of coconut cream. (This makes it richer)

FAQs

Can I prepare the mango blossom mocktail before a party?

Yes, you can mix the mango puree and juices and syrup and orange blossom water together. Keep this mix in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a day. Then, just shake it with ice and add the sparkling water right before you serve.

Can I use frozen mango chunks?

Sure! Just let the frozen mango thaw completely. Then blend it until smooth. You might need to add a tiny bit of water to help it blend.

Do I really need the orange blossom water?

Well, it gives the drink its special “Blossom” flavor. If you really can’t find it, you could try rose water (but the taste is very different!) or just leave it out. It will still be a tasty mango citrus mocktail.

What if I don’t own a cocktail shaker?

No problem! A clean glass jar with a lid that seals tightly works great. Just make sure the lid is on tight before you shake it! (You can use a small kitchen sieve to strain it).

Conclusion

So there you have it! Your own lovely mango blossom mocktail. It really shows that alcohol-free drinks can be fun and taste wonderful.

I hope making this recipe adds something nice to your day or your next get-together.
