Tips For The Perfect Drink
- Mango nectar is a drink found in cans in the soda or juice aisle of the grocery store. It typically contains mango puree, sugar and water. If you can’t find mango nectar, you can use mango puree and add some sugar to it.
- You will need a muddler to crush the mint for the most authentic mango mojito flavor. If you don’t own a muddler, you can use the round end of a wooden spoon.
- This recipe makes one drink. You can easily adjust the recipe for a crowd by changing the number of servings in the recipe card, and the ingredients will automatically recalculate. If you’re serving a bigger group, feel free to use a pitcher to make a large batch.
- For an extra special presentation, try dipping the rim of your cocktail glass in water, then place the rim of the glass on a plate of sugar to get a frosted look.
Quick Tip
You can use lime sparkling water instead of club soda for extra flavor.
Recipe FAQs
White rum is the best choice for a mojito drink. A spiced rum is too strong and will overpower the flavors of the lime and mint.

Flavor Variations
While this drink is delicious as-is, you can make a few changes to suit your taste.
- Fruit: Swap out the mango nectar for other fruit juices. Some great options include pineapple juice, guava nectar, orange juice or cranberry juice.
- Alcohol: If you don’t have white rum on hand, this drink will also work well with vodka. You could also go with a fruit flavored rum such as Malibu that complements the mango flavor.
