Notes

-You can make this mocktail in any cocktail glass of your choice. I understand that not everyone has a set of Moscow mule mugs.

-If acquiring mango syrup is proving difficult for you, mango juice or even a thinned mango puree would be just as great. Be mindful that the syrup is very sweet, so using mango juice or puree may not provide the sweetness you’d expect.

-If you have fresh mango, cut the mango into spears and garnish with a spear of fresh mango.

-Garnishing with fresh mint makes sense, but not only is it nice as a garnish but putting the mint leaves into your mocktail will brighten the flavors even more. Put the mint leaves in the palm of your hand and give them a little slap. This will soften the leaves and bring out the mint’s oils.
