Cool, refreshing and completely delicious, these fresh Skinny Mango Mojitos are an easy rum drink to enjoy on the deck with friends during cocktail hour.
If you’ve never tried mint in a cocktail before, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The fresh mint and lime juice balance out the sweetness from the mango, making this drink the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
As the days get longer and spring turns into summer, we hope that you’ll find a great place to relax outdoors and enjoy one of these refreshing, delicious Skinny Mango Mojitos.
Why blend rather than muddle?
Normally when making a mojito, you muddle the mint and lime in a cocktail shaker. You can absolutely do this, but we’ve had the most success with making a fresh puree in the blender. The consistency seems to turn out better and the flavor exceeds what any muddler can do.
