Equipment
Method
- Select ripe mangoes by gently pressing the stem end; cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the flesh, and reserve.
- Add the mango chunks to a blender and pulse until smooth, adding up to 2 tablespoons of water if needed for a silky puree.
- Cut limes in half and juice them with a citrus or hand juicer; strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp.
- Prepare ginger syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water with fresh ginger slices for 15 minutes, then strain and cool, or use store-bought syrup.
- Divide ice cubes evenly between two tall glasses to chill and prevent dilution as you assemble the mocktail.
- Combine mango puree, lime juice, ginger syrup, and a pinch of sea salt in a cocktail shaker or mason jar; add ice to fill halfway.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside is frosty and the mixture is chilled and aerated.
- Strain the mixture evenly into the prepared ice-filled glasses to remove any pulp or ice shards.
- Top each glass with sparkling water, pouring gently to preserve carbonation, then stir briefly with a spoon to combine.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a mango slice, then serve immediately while cold and fizzy for best flavor.
