Ingredients You’ll Need

Okay, here’s what you need. Pretty simple stuff!

  • 2 cups Frozen Mango Chunks (Using frozen is key for that thick slushy texture)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice (Please use fresh limes! In my experience, it makes a big difference)
  • 2 tablespoons Simple Syrup (You might need more or less depending on your mango)
  • 1/2 cup Cold Water (Or try coconut water for an extra tropical kick)
  • Optional bits for garnish: A slice of lime or a little mint leaf looks nice.

Equipment

You don’t need much just the basics:

  • A blender (One that can handle frozen fruit works best)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Something to squeeze the limes (if you have one)
  • Glasses for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready? Let’s blend this delicious mango daiquiri mocktail!

Step 1:
Put the frozen mango chunks and fresh lime juice and simple syrup and cold water into your blender.

Step 2:
Pop the lid on tight. Blend it on high until everything is smooth. It should look like a thick slushy. (This usually takes about a minute maybe less)

Step 3:
Is it too thick? Add a tiny bit more water and blend again for just a second. Too thin? Add a few more frozen mango bits or a couple ice cubes and give it another quick blend. (You want it just right)

Step 4:
Now, its the time to give it a quick taste. Need it sweeter? Add a touch more simple syrup and blend for a second. Want more zing? A tiny bit more lime juice will do it. (Getting the sweet and tart balance right is important)

Step 5:
Pour your amazing mango mocktail into some nice glasses (chilled ones are great). Add a lime slice or mint leaf if you feel fancy.

Enjoy it right away while its cold and slushy!

Pro Tips

Here are a few little tricks I’ve learned from making this lots of times:

  • I really mean it use frozen mango! It makes the drink thick and icy without watering down that lovely mango flavor. (Its my number one tip for this recipe)
  • Even though its frozen using mango that was nice and ripe and sweet when fresh gives you the best taste.
  • Trust me on this one – fresh lime juice beats the bottled kind every time. You need that bright fresh tang to balance the sweet mango. I’ve tried both and fresh wins hands down.
  • Mangoes can be super sweet or just okay. First start with the amount of simple syrup I suggested. Then taste it and add more only if you need to.
  • If you have time stick your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before you pour. It keeps the mocktail colder longer and looks professional.
  • Don’t stop blending too soon. You want it really smooth no stringy bits just creamy frosty goodness.

Variation Ideas

Do you want to mix things up? Try these:

  • Swap about half a cup of the mango for frozen pineapple chunks. (Yum)
  • Blend a few frozen strawberries with a splash of water separately. Then swirl this into the mango mix just before serving. (it’s looks pretty too)
  • Use coconut milk instead of water. It makes it richer kind of like a piña colada. Try to use the full-fat kind for best results (I love it).
  • Add a tiny pinch of chili powder or a very small piece of fresh ginger when blending. (Its adds a nice warmth)
  • Toss in a few fresh mint leaves or basil leaves when you blend. (Smells amazing)
  • No simple syrup? Try agave nectar or maple syrup instead. Start with a little less though as they can taste sweeter.

FAQs

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

Yes you can. But you’ll need to add about 1 cup or maybe 1.5 cups of ice cubes to get it slushy. This might make the mango flavor a little less strong though.

How do I make simple syrup?

Easy! Just gently heat equal parts water and sugar (like half cup water half cup sugar) in a small pan. Stir until the sugar melts. Let it cool down completely before you use it. (You can keep leftovers in the fridge)

Can I make this ahead for a party?

Its really best made fresh right before serving. If it sits around it melts and loses that perfect slushy texture. You can measure out the lime juice and syrup ahead of time though!

Is this recipe vegan and Gluten-free?

Yep! As written its totally vegan and gluten-free. Simple and natural.

Why my mango daiquiri mocktail isn’t slushy enough?

It probably means you need more frozen ingredients. Make sure your mango was frozen solid. You can also add a few ice cubes and blend again. Try not to use too much liquid at the beginning.

Conclusion

So there you go! A super simple recipe for a delicious and refreshing mango daiquiri mocktail you can easily make at home.

Its a great way to enjoy those tropical flavors without any alcohol. Perfect for cooling down on a warm day or just treating yourself.
