Ingredients
  

For the mango purée:

  • 2 ripe mangos (makes ¾ cup purée)

For the simple syrup: 

  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup water

For all 6 cocktails: 

  • ¾ cup mango purée (follow instructions using 2 ripe mangos)
  • 1 cup simple syrup (approximately—use measurements above to make it)
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons white rum
  • 3 cups club soda
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Ice

For one cocktail: 

  • 2 lime wedges
  • 4 mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons mango purée
  • 1½ oz (3 tablespoons or one shot) white rum
  • ½ cup club soda
  • Ice

Instructions
 

For the mango purée:

  • Peel the mangos. Place the mango flesh in a food processor. Process until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the edges of the food processor bowl if necessary. 

For the simple syrup:

  • Combine ⅔ cup sugar and ⅔ cup water in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, and take off the heat. Let the simple syrup cool completely. 

Mango mojitos by the pitcher (6 servings): 

  • Place the lime wedges and mint leaves in a large pitcher. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently mash the limes and mint to release the lime juice and the mint aroma.
  • Add the mango purée, the cooled simple syrup, and the rum to the pitcher; stir to combine.
  • Add several cups of ice (I did about ¾ up the side of the pitcher, but it depends on how big your pitcher is). Top with the club soda. Serve immediately. 

For each individual cocktail: 

  • Follow the instructions above for making mango purée and simple syrup.
  • Place two lime wedges and 4 mint leaves in the bottom of a tall glass. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently mash the limes and mint to release the lime juice and the mint aroma. 
  • Add 2 tablespoons mango purée, 2 tablespoons simple syrup, and one shot of rum; stir to combine. 
  • Fill the glass up ¾ of the way with ice and top with ½ cup club soda.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure the simple syrup has cooled completely before making the cocktails. To speed this along, place it in the refrigerator to chill.
To make it a mocktail, skip the white rum and add more club soda. 
You can use either red mangos or champagne mangos for the mango purée.
