You want your matcha magic with a side of sparkling mango? Done. The matcha mango soda is the perfect summer beverage to sit back, relax, and escape the heat. Cool and refreshing, you can serve it as a mocktail for happy hour, use it to add a little spice to your lunches, or enjoy it alone as you dream of tropical beaches and a gentle breeze. If you prep your simple syrup ahead of time (or use a different liquid sweetener) the mango matcha soda is always just around the corner. Make your matcha, add your simple syrup, mangos, and soda water, and you’re done. Plus, when you make your sodas at home, you can ensure that you’re sippin’ on only the good stuff… no fake sugars and no additives. Add a little matcha magic to this sparkly mix and you’re set.
