Ingredients & Substitutions
Mangoes are the star here, and the riper they are, the sweeter your drink will be! If you can’t find ripe mangoes, frozen mango works just as well – just toss them straight into the blender. Fresh basil adds a unique twist, but if you’re in a pinch, mint can be a delicious substitute.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep some extra basil leaves on hand for garnish – it makes the drink look so pretty!
- •If you want a little kick, try adding a slice of jalapeño to the blender for a spicy twist.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll swap out half the mango for pineapple for an extra tropical vibe.
- •You could also add a splash of coconut milk for a creamier texture and flavor.
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftover mango-basil juice in the fridge for up to two days. Just remember to add the sparkling water right before serving!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just prepare the mango-basil juice and keep it in the fridge. Add the sparkling water right before serving to keep it fizzy.
