When we just cannot make it to Alcazar to have their excellent Mango Mojito, we are left with no choice but to try to recreate it at home. This recipe from MyRecipes does a pretty decent job, actually. For the mango flavor we used the thick Mango Smoothy from Trader Joe's.
Squeeze the lime wedges and drop them into the glass. Tear apart the mint springs, possibly reserving one for decoration, and drop them into the glass. Now mull/crush the lime and the mint with a spoon (we used a whisk in a pint glass and that worked beautifully). Add the remaining ingredients, stir a bit, and serve.
- 2-3 lime wedges
- 3-5 mint sprigs
- 3+ Tbsp rum
- 2 Tbsp simple syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water, heated to dilute)
- 1 Tbsp mango flavor/nectar/juice
- 1/4 cup club soda
- ice, crushed
