Print Recipe

A vibrant and easy-to-make summer drink combining sweet mango, spicy jalapeño, tart lemon juice, and sparkling water for a refreshing and bubbly beverage with a kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 medium lemons, juiced (about ½ cup or 120 ml lemon juice)
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (seeds included or removed depending on heat preference)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 4 cups (960 ml) sparkling water or club soda, chilled
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Optional garnish: lemon slices, mango chunks, or jalapeño rings

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  2. Infuse the jalapeño flavor: Add the thinly sliced jalapeño to the warm simple syrup. Let steep for 15-20 minutes, then strain out the jalapeño slices.
  3. Prepare the mango puree: While the syrup is steeping, blend the peeled and chopped mangoes until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Juice the lemons: Juice 4 medium lemons to yield approximately ½ cup lemon juice. Strain seeds out.
  5. Combine the components: In a large pitcher, pour the jalapeño-infused simple syrup, mango puree, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to mix all flavors.
  6. Add the fizz: Slowly pour in 4 cups of chilled sparkling water or club soda. Gently stir to combine without losing the bubbles.
  7. Chill and serve: Add ice cubes to the pitcher or glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, mango chunks, or jalapeño rings. Serve immediately for best fizz and freshness.

Notes

Control the heat by adjusting jalapeño seeds or steeping time. Use ripe mangoes for best flavor. Stir gently after adding sparkling water to preserve fizz. Prepare mango puree, lemon juice, and jalapeño syrup ahead and combine with sparkling water just before serving to keep bubbles fresh.
