Step 1

Peel and cut the Mango (1) into chunks and puree in your blender along with the Fresh Ginger (1/2 tsp) , Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup) , and Water (1/4 cup) .

Step 2

In a large bowl or the jug, you’ll be serving this in, place the Fresh Mint Leaves (to taste) , cut one of the Lime (1) into pieces, and place in there as well, along with pieces of skin peel from the Oranges (to taste) . Then using a pestle or a bartending kit, press down to bruise everything so they release their natural oils and juices.

Step 3

Now squeeze in the other Lime (1) and top with the mango puree. If you are making this drink alcoholic, now is the time to add the White Rum (3/4 cup) , even though I skip that step. Then all you have to do now is add the Soda Water (4 cups) and stir to combine.

Step 4

Place a couple of Fresh Mint Leaves (to taste) , a slice or two of peel from the Oranges (to taste) , twist to release the fragrant oils, some crushed ice, and top with the virgin mango mojito to serve.
