How To Cut Mangoes:
Start by cutting one side of a mango off the fruit with a knife. There is a pit in the center of the mango; get as close to the pit as you can and cut down the length of it.
Take the knife and cut squares into the flesh, being careful not to cut the skin. Fan the mango out with your fingers, so that the squares protrude from the skin.
Run the knife carefully along the inner surface of the mango, removing the mango 'squares' from the skin. Alternately, you can scoop the mango 'squares' from the skin using a large spoon. Repeat with the other half of the mango.
Cut the sides of the mango and run the knife alongside the skin, removing the flesh. Cut any remaining flesh from around the pit.
Repeat with the remaining mangoes and place the mango chunks into a bowl.
Alternately, you can use frozen mango chunks. Place 1 lb. frozen mango chunks into a strainer in the sink and allow to thaw completely. Once thawed, use just as you would fresh mango.
Assemble The Mocktails:
Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour ⅓ cup or so of the mango puree over the ice (the glass should be ⅔ full). Top the mango puree with club soda. Fill until the glass is totally full. Stir until completely combined. Garnish with fresh mint sprig and a wedge of lime. Serve immediately.
It's important that the simple syrup cool completely before adding it to the mojito.
You can make the simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Any leftover simple syrup may be stored this way as well.
Any leftover puree may be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Feel free to add 1.5 oz. of white rum if you'd like to make this a cocktail.
You can add as much or as little of the mango puree to each drink as you like, depending on how sweet you like your mocktail. Feel free to add some extra lime juice if you find it too sweet.
