The Pineapple-Mango Fizz is an alcohol-free long drink that combines ripe mango with pineapple juice and a sharp dash of soda. It tastes tropical, not sticky, and in the tall glass it immediately evokes a holiday vibe. The lime keeps the sweetness in check, the soda brings freshness – and there you have the perfect drink for hot days.
And this is what you need for the Pineapple-Mango Fizz
6 cl pineapple juice
4 cl mango purée or mango juice
2 cl lime juice
1 cl sugar syrup
Soda to top up
Garnish: pineapple piece and mint
What matters
The Fizz relies on the carbonation – so only add the soda right at the end and give it a quick stir, not a stir. If you stir too early, you lose the bubbles. Mango purée makes the drink a little creamier than straight juice, but both versions work. It’s important that all ingredients are ice-cold, otherwise the drink will dilute too quickly. If you prefer your Fizz sweeter, add a little more syrup – the lime balances it out.
Variations
- Pineapple-Mango Fizz with ginger — 2 cl ginger syrup instead of sugar syrup – adds spice and depth.
- Pineapple-Mango Fizz with coconut water — half soda, half coconut water – makes the drink creamier and more exotic.
- Pineapple-Mango Fizz with passion fruit — add 1 cl passion fruit juice – gives a tangy complexity.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Fizz be made without purée?
Yes. Use good mango juice and a little less syrup – the purée just makes it creamier, the flavour stays similar.
Which glass works best?
A Highball or tall long drink glass, so the soda and ice have plenty of room and the drink doesn’t get warm too quickly.
Can I prepare the Fizz in advance?
You can chill the fruit mixture without the soda. Always add the soda just before serving, otherwise the bubbles will be gone.
Which mint should I use?
Regular peppermint or spearmint – both work. Before garnishing, give the leaves a quick rub between your palms so they smell stronger.
