Mango Mojito
This mango mojito is the perfect combination of rum, mint and sweet mango nectar. This drink is perfect for sipping by the pool and dreaming of warm weather.
Listen, mango is basically my jam. My fruit jam.
Hmm. Does that make sense?
Probably not. I’m sorta used to spewing out thoughts that make just about zero sense. But really, I feel like mango is where it’s at. It my favorite flavor of e’rything and has yet to let me down. Until I try to peel and cut the damn thing. Then it’s like a murder scene and finger decapitation just waiting to happen.
They are slippery little suckers.
However, if you’re super lazy there is something you can do to make your life easier when it comes to peeling and cutting mangos – buy them precut.
I know, total laziness. BUT you totally cut out that whole “I sure hope I don’t cut off my finger with my dull knife that I should get sharpened but keep forgetting too so it will probably turn on me and take off my finger” situation.
*Side note: Get my knifes sharpened.
However, for this delicious cocktail you don’t even have to go through that messy peeling/chopping process. You can just mango nectar.
Woot! Welcome to easy town! Then you just take that mango nectar and mix it with a little rum, mint, lime and sugar. It’s literally (said in Rob Lowes voice) the best drink of the summer. PLUS if it’s still cold where you live (hello spring…can you show up soon?) you can drink a few of these and dream of warm summer days.
Also it should be noted that I drank a few of these delicious beauties on my Regal Princess Caribbean Cruise. They were sweet, fresh and perfect for sipping outside on the deck. If you’re not a fan of rum you can always leave it out and go full on mango, mint and lime.
So delicious in every single way.

The best thing I did when I made my mango barbecue sauce was try to peel a mango on the rim of a glass like you see on Pinterest. Worked.like.a.charm!! Just slice in half, place the edge on the rim, and push. It does work!!
These look amazing. I honestly could eat my weight in mango. Pinned!!
This looks fantastic, what a beautiful Mojito! Perfect for summer, thanks for sharing!
Mangos are crazy good. I believe this cocktail needs to happen this Friday!
Precut fruit is sometimes my savor. Oh and precut butternut squash. The words that fly from my kitchen when I am attempting to cut into one of those guys……but can I just have a few of these mango mojitos awaiting for me? That will make all well.
You know this is going on my list!!! I would love it if you would link it up to Tipsy Tuesday at Grey is the New Black!
You had me at Mojito, and then I fell head over heels with addition of mango.
Hello Mango!! What beautiful pictures! I would love this cocktail and can’t wait to try it in 3 1/2 months after I have baby girl! So so delicious. Totally agree about mangos…and the mango cutter thing doesn’t really work. Wish I could get my $5 back. Precut all the way girl!
This cocktail looks so tasty and refreshing. Your pictures are beautiful. Makes we want to order this up right away.
Yum! I will definitely be making these for by the pool this summer! And I have never seen precut mangos at my grocery store, but I will be on the watch, because I am always afraid I am going to cut myself! Your photos are gorgeous too. I can’t wait to try these!
Haha, the beginning of your post reminded me of Pitch Perfect.. have you seen that movie? 🙂
And Mojitos are definitely MY jam! 😀 This is gawdgeous!
Is it bad that I want one of these with my breakfast! 🙂

Mango in cocktails is fabulous! This is one gorgeous mojito!

I also love mangoes, but I have never actually sliced one myself. I always buy them pre-cut 🙂 I can’t wait to make this mojito!
Sweet mango nectar?! I’m in love.
YUM! I can picture myself sipping on this all summer long!
Girl, I spent $7.99/pound for precut mango because it’s just not worth cutting it myself.
Totally making these this weekend! I don’t know if I’ve ever used mango nectar but I can’t wait to try it!
I can’t believe it’s still chilly in some places, but this could warm anyone up. I love any thing mango. Super for the summer and so easy to make!!
This looks amazing! I am obsessed with mangos lately (though I have been buying the precut versions from Trader Joe’s because I hate to peel them too!). I always love a mojito, so this is going on my to try immediately list! Thanks for sharing!
So refreshing and perfect for spring! Pinned.
I’m very into mangos lately so this sounds fabulous!
I am all about buying the mango pre cut, and now I will be buying a whole lot a mango to make this drink. Fabulous!
I am so in love with this recipe. Not only beautiful but tasty. I could sip on this all the live long day.
Mango is my FAVORITE. Especially when it comes to cocktails. Definitely need a pitcher full of these. Yes. I said pitcher.
This looks so yummy and relatively easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
