Ingredients
1 mango large, peeled with center removed
4 shots vodka
1 tablespoon sugar (such as monkfruit, maple syrup or honey)
12 ounces sparkling flavored water such as orange, passionfruit, or citrus (1 can)
2 limes juice
ice
fresh mint leaves
Preparation
In a blender, add the meat of the mango, vodka, lime juice and sugar and blend until a smooth puree is formed.
In 3-4 glasses add the ice and divide the mango puree among the glasses. Top each with sparkling water (there will most likely be some leftover) then stir the mixture together and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
This serves anywhere from 3-4 people and is light like a spritzer. Enjoy any leftover sparkling water on the side, or dilute the cocktail more with it.
To make this without vodka, skip adding it altogether for a virgin mango cocktail over ice.
You can also use our fresh mango juice mixed with 4-6 shots of vodka.
