Picture this: It's a sweltering summer afternoon, and you're lounging on your porch, craving something cool and invigorating. Forget the usual sugary sodas! Instead, imagine a glass filled with the vibrant colors of mango and mint, the tantalizing aroma of marjoram, and the refreshing fizz of sparkling water. This isn't just a drink; it's an experience.
I remember the first time I made this mojito. A friend had given me a bunch of fresh mangoes from their garden, and my herb garden was overflowing with marjoram. It was one of those serendipitous moments where I thought, "Why not combine these amazing ingredients?" The result was nothing short of spectacular – a burst of tropical sweetness balanced by the herbaceous notes of marjoram and the tangy lime. It became an instant hit at every gathering!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Mango: Peel and dice one ripe mango. You should aim for about 1 cup of diced mango.
- Muddle the Mango and Marjoram: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the diced mango and 6-8 fresh marjoram leaves. Gently muddle them together. The goal here is to release the mango's juices and the marjoram's aromatic oils. Don't over-muddle, or you'll end up with a pulpy mess. Think gentle pressure, not aggressive smashing.
- Add Lime Juice: Pour in 1 ounce (30ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice. Freshly squeezed makes a HUGE difference, trust me. Bottled lime juice just doesn't have the same zing.
- Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter mojito, add 1/2 to 1 ounce (15-30ml) of simple syrup or agave nectar. I usually skip this step because the mango is sweet enough for my taste, but feel free to adjust to your liking. If using sugar, make sure to dissolve it completely before moving on.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes.
- Top with Sparkling Water: Pour sparkling water or club soda over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top of the glass.
- Stir Gently: Use a long spoon to gently stir the mixture. Be careful not to over-stir, as you don't want to lose the fizz from the sparkling water.
- Garnish: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a slice of mango, and a marjoram leaf. Get creative! A pretty garnish elevates the whole experience.
- Serve Immediately: The mojito is best enjoyed fresh. Serve immediately and savor every sip!
- Add a tiny pinch of salt, if desired. It just might make it that much better.
📝 Notes
- For a boozier version, add 1.5 ounces of white rum.
- Adjust sweetness to your liking.
- Use a high-quality sparkling water for the best fizz.
