Cooking tip: The flavor of this cocktail depends heavily on using ripe mango. If your mango is not quite ripe, it will be more resistant to being pureed, and may need a few drops liquid stevia or monkfruit for sweetness. There are a variety of options for modifying this cocktail to make it your own. Consider trying different flavors of unsweetened sparkling water, use a larger glass and a heavier pour for the mezcal, or more ice and more sparkling water for even softer smoky mezcal flavor. However you adapt this recipe it is sure to feel like a cool breeze when sipping it!
