Ingredients

• 3/4 tablespoon grated ginger
• 2-3 slices jalapeños (use thin slices of jalapeños + more to serve)
• handful mint leaves (+ more to serve)
• 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon chaat masala
• 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon kala namak (black salt)
• 1 cup coconut water (cold)
• 1 & 1/2 cup mango juice (cold)
• plain sparkling water/soda (as needed)

Method

1. Take a cocktail shaker and to that add grated ginger and jalapeño slices. You can add as many jalapeño slices you like but the more you add them the spicier your mocktail will be.
2. Then add a handful of mint leaves to the shaker. Also add chaat masala and kala namak. Use the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler if you have one, and mash the ginger, mint leaves, and jalapeños to release their juices.
3. Add the coconut water and mango juice and close the shaker. Close the shaker and then shake it several times until it is all well combined.
4. You can now pour it into serving glasses, garnish with mint leaves and jalapeño slices (if needed) and serve plain or you can top them with sparkling water.
5. Fill your serving glass until it is 3/4th full (I like using 6 oz glasses) and then top with plain sparkling water and serve. If you are topping it with sparkling water, then serve immediately else the fizz will go down. If you are serving this plain, then you can serve later as well but keep in mind if you garnish them with jalapeño slices, the drink is going to get spicier as you let it it. So garnish before serving or just garnish with mint leaves.
