Print Recipe

A refreshing and spicy non-alcoholic mocktail that balances juicy mango sweetness with fiery habanero heat, perfect for warm weather and easy to make in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 small habanero pepper, deseeded for milder heat or whole for more spice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup (or honey/simple syrup as substitute)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda (240 ml)
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Chili-lime salt for rimming the glass (mix kosher salt with a pinch of chili powder and lime zest)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 1 cup (150 g) of ripe mango. Remove seeds from 1 small habanero pepper and roughly chop it. Juice 1 fresh lime to yield 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of lime juice.
  2. Optional: Mix 1 tablespoon kosher salt with 1/4 teaspoon chili powder and zest of half a lime on a small plate. Rub the rim of serving glasses with a lime wedge and dip into the salt mixture. Set aside.
  3. Add mango, habanero, lime juice, and agave syrup into a blender. Pulse until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water to help blend evenly. Taste carefully as heat intensifies while blending.
  4. Fill prepared glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour mango-habanero puree over ice, then top with 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint or a thin slice of mango on the rim. Serve immediately for best fizz and freshness.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid irritation. Removing seeds reduces heat. Letting the puree sit for a few minutes mellows the heat and allows flavors to marry better. Add sparkling water last and stir gently to preserve fizz. Chilling glasses beforehand keeps the drink cooler longer. For smoother texture, strain puree through a fine mesh sieve if desired.
