  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Mango Purée

  • 1 large mango, pureed (about ¾ cup)

Cocktail Mix

  • 50 ml premium quality white rum (e.g., Copeland Rum)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 60 ml sugar syrup
  • 6 – 8 fresh mint leaves
  • ¼ fresh jalapeño
  • Ice (about 10 cubes)
  • Soda water, to top up the glass

Garnish & Glass Preparation

  • Extra lime wedges for garnishing
  • Additional mint leaves for garnish
  • Chilli salt to rim the glass
  • Medium-sized glass

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mango Purée: Puree 1 large mango until smooth and measure out about ¾ cup of mango puree into a jug. Ensure the puree is uniform with no large chunks.
  2. Mix Cocktail Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add the white rum, lime juice, sugar syrup, mint leaves, and ¼ of a fresh jalapeño. Gently muddle the mint and jalapeño to release their aromatic oils and flavors without overcrushing.
  3. Add Ice and Shake: Add about 10 ice cubes into the shaker. Shake vigorously to combine flavors and chill the mixture thoroughly.
  4. Prepare Glass Rim: Coat the rim of a medium glass with chilli salt according to your desired spice level. Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill.
  5. Combine and Stir: Strain the cocktail mixture from the shaker through a strainer into the prepared mango purée. Stir the mixture well to blend the mango with the cocktail flavors.
  6. Assemble the Drink: Pour the mango-cocktail mixture into the glass, filling it about ¾ of the way. Top up the glass with soda water to add effervescence and lighten the drink.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the soda water evenly. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for best flavor and chill.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeño quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best aroma and taste.
  • Chilli salt can be made by mixing coarse salt with chili powder for a homemade spicy rim.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce sugar syrup accordingly.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit rum and increase soda water or use sparkling water.
  • Ensure mango is ripe and sweet for a balanced flavor.
