Ingredients
fresh blueberries
fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh mango, cut into chunks
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 oz light rum
sparkling water
ice
Directions
In a small pot, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar is fully dissolved. Add 1 cup mango chunks and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring gently, until the syrup lightens to a pale yellow and the mango begins to break down.
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender. Purée until completely smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Allow the mango simple syrup to cool to room temperature. Transfer any extra syrup to a glass jar for storage in the refrigerator.
Purée approximately ½ cup of fresh blueberries in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
In a tall glass, gently muddle a small handful of fresh mint leaves, a few fresh blueberries, and 2 fresh mango chunks together until the fruit releases its juices and the mint becomes fragrant.
Pour 1 oz of the blueberry purée into the bottom of the glass, then fill the glass with ice.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz rum and 1.5 oz of the cooled mango simple syrup. Shake well and strain into the glass.
Top the drink with sparkling water to fill. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a few fresh blueberries, and mango chunks. Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a quick, cheap cocktail built from year-round supermarket staples at any Charlotte chain—blueberries and mango are both widely available frozen or fresh, mint is standard produce, and the base spirits and mixers are everywhere. The stated 25 minutes is honest, closer to five if you skip the muddling niceties and just shake. The real catch is that it makes a single drink, so batch drinks for a crowd mean multiplying your prep, and the cocktail does not keep beyond a few hours once made—order it now or lose it. If you are looking for a bright, fruit-forward summer drink that costs under $3 per serving and needs no special stops, this lands solidly.
