Pour in the blue agave or simple syrup, followed by the rum, if using, and using the muddler, muddle the ingredients to release the flavors from mint, lime mango and ginger.

Ensure that the mango is well puréed and the mixture is well combined.
Fill the glass with crushed ice almost all the way, leaving a little room at the top. Top it with ginger ale or ginger beer. If you don’t have it, tonic water or club soda will work too.
Using a spoon, swizzle to combine everything.
Garnish with cubed mango, ginger slices, mint sprigs and sip away!
