2. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rosemary syrup cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Strain out the rosemary sprigs and discard them.
4. In a blender, add the diced mangoes and blend on high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Tip: If using frozen mango, thaw it slightly first for easier blending.
5. Strain the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any fibrous bits, pressing with a spoon to extract all liquid.
6. Add the cooled rosemary syrup to the pitcher with the mango puree and stir well to combine.
7. Fill four glasses with ice cubes, dividing the mango-rosemary mixture evenly among them.
8. Top each glass with 1/2 cup of chilled sparkling water, pouring slowly to preserve the fizz. Tip: Stir gently with a spoon to mix without losing carbonation.
9. Garnish each glass with a fresh rosemary sprig and a lime wedge if desired.
Grab a glass and enjoy this vibrant drink immediately. The texture is smooth and effervescent, with a sweet mango base that’s subtly earthy from the rosemary. For a creative twist, try adding a splash of vodka or serving it over crushed ice with a sprinkle of chili powder on the rim.
