How to Make Refreshing Tropical Mango Passion Fruit Mocktail

Ingredients:

1 cup (150g) fresh mango, peeled and diced (Ataulfo mango preferred)
Pulp from 2 medium passion fruits
2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice
1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
1 cup (240ml) cold sparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes as needed
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Peel and dice about 1 cup (150g) of ripe mango.
Cut two passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a bowl.
Place the diced mango in a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer.
In a large glass or pitcher, combine the mango puree, passion fruit pulp, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice. Stir gently to mix.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or agave syrup based on the sweetness of the mango. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Fill your serving glass halfway with ice cubes.
Pour 1 cup (240ml) of cold sparkling water or club soda over the mixture. Stir gently to combine without losing the fizz.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a thin lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.

How to Store Refreshing Tropical Mango Passion Fruit Mocktail
