What is in a mango mai tai?

A classic mango mai tai mocktail combines fresh mango, lime juice, pineapple juice, orange syrup (or non-alcoholic curaçao), and orgeat syrup. These ingredients create a delicious balance of tropical sweetness and citrusy zing , with a nutty twist from the orgeat. Our version is entirely alcohol-free, making it perfect for everyone at the table.

What is a Mai Tai cocktail made of?

The original Mai Tai cocktail includes rum, lime juice, orgeat syrup, and orange curaçao. But for our family-friendly version, we’ve swapped the rum and curaçao with orange syrup and extra juice —so you still get that complex, layered flavor without any alcohol. It’s the perfect mai tai mocktail for those who want the taste without the spirits.

What liquor is best with mango?

While our mocktail skips the alcohol, the best liquor that typically pairs with mango includes rum, vodka, or tequila , due to their neutral or tropical notes. But when going alcohol-free, mango shines best with citrus, pineapple, and nutty flavors , just like in this non alcoholic mai tai. These pairings enhance mango’s natural richness without overpowering it.

Can I make mango mai tai mix ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prep the entire mango mai tai cocktail mix (minus fizzy add-ins like soda) and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before serving. This makes it ideal for parties, brunches, or prepping a special treat for later in the day.
