Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1.5 ounces fresh mango puree (about 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and blended)
- 1 ounce triple sec
- 0.5 ounce lime juice
- 0.5 ounce simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mango slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass (0:00 - 0:30): Take a chilled cocktail glass. Fill it with ice to keep the drink cold while you prepare the cocktail. This step takes just 30 seconds and helps ensure your mango cocktail stays refreshing from the first sip.
- Mix the Ingredients (0:30 - 1:30): In a shaker filled with ice, pour 2 ounces of vodka, 1.5 ounces of fresh mango puree, 1 ounce of triple sec, 0.5 ounce of lime juice, and 0.5 ounce of simple syrup. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 60 seconds. This thorough shaking blends the flavors together, creating a harmonious tropical taste.
- Strain and Pour (1:30 - 2:00): Strain the cocktail from the shaker into the chilled glass, removing the ice cubes. This process should take around 30 seconds and results in a smooth, well - mixed drink in your glass.
- Garnish (2:00 - 2:30): Decorate the cocktail with a fresh mango slice on the rim of the glass and a mint sprig. These garnishes not only add visual appeal but also enhance the tropical aroma of the drink.
