What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup mango juice or nectar
- 1 cup ginger beer non-alcoholic
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Fill Mugs with Ice
Fill two copper mugs or tall glasses with ice cubes. Copper mugs keep the drink colder longer and enhance the mule experience.
Step 2: Add Mango and Lime
Pour the mango juice and fresh lime juice over the ice. Stir briefly to combine the juices.
Step 3: Top with Ginger Beer
Gently pour ginger beer over the mango mixture in each glass, being careful not to lose too much carbonation.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Garnish each drink with a sprig of fresh mint, a lime wheel, and a small mango wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using mango-flavored syrup instead of real mango juice which creates an artificial tasting drink
- Pouring ginger beer too quickly causing excessive fizzing and losing carbonation
