Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Notes
If you are making this in advance, I would suggest nor garnishing with jalapeño slices beforehand. As they sit, the jalapeños release their juice/flavor and the drink can become quite spicy. So you can make the drink (which of course includes jalapeños) in advance, but don't garnish them with more. You can garnish with mint leaves and jalapeños at the time of serving.
This serves 4 if you use 5 to 6 oz glasses. If you use 2 oz glasses it will serve more and it will serve less if you use bigger glasses.
