What is Mango Nectar?

Mango Nectar is lightly sweetened mango juice. My local grocery store carries two delicious brands: Goya Mango Nectar and Jumex Mango Nectar. Your store may carry different brands, so look for a mango nectar.

Is Mango Nectar Different than Mango Juice?

Yes, Mango Nectar is only juice from a mango.

Where as Mango Juice is a blend with other types of fruit juices. The container will typically say 100% Fruit Juice, which means it is a mix of mango juice with apple juice, pineapple juice and/or grape juices. It still has a dominant mango flavor, but it’s reduced by the accompanying juices.

If you can only find Mango Juice, go for it! It’ll still create a delicious tropical twist to your Mojito.

 

Can I use Fresh Mangos?

Yes, if you want to make this drink recipe with fresh mangos it takes a few more steps.

Start by cutting your ripe mangos in half and scooping out the mango pulp. Take these mango chunks and create a mango puree in a food processor or high speed blender. This Ninja Blender is my favorite. It can puree anything in seconds!

Then follow the recipe below using your mango puree instead of mango nectar.

It will be a thicker mango cocktail by using the puree instead of nectar.

Kitchen Tools

• Muddler
• Tall Glass
• Cocktail Shaker (optional)

If you don’t have a muddler, the handle of a wooden spoon will work in pinch. It takes a little longer, as there is less surface area on a spoon than the bottom of a muddler and a little harder to release the flavor of the mint.

If you like to make Mojitos, then definitely pick up a muddler. I use this wooden muddler because it has little spikes on the end, which makes muddling quick and easy!

 

How to Make a Mango Mojito

You can make individual cocktails or make this fruity mojito recipe in a larger batch using a cocktail shaker.

STEP 1: Place 5-7 mint leaves in the bottom of your tall glass.

STEP 2: Add simple syrup and use a muddler to press on the leaves to release the mint oil. The leaves will break apart some, but they do not need to be over-muddled to where they turn mushy.

STEP 3: Juice 1 fresh lime into the serving glass.

STEP 4: Add White Rum and Mango Nectar. Stir well.

STEP 5: Fill your cocktail glass with ice.

STEP 6: Top with Club Soda.

STEP 7: Add a mint sprig and a lime wedge for garnish.

 

These Mango Mojitos are the perfect summer drink! They’re fruity and refreshing, and can be made with just a handful of ingredients. In the summertime, nothing beats a cold drink with a sweet and fruity flavor.
