Description

This easy gin cocktail really lets fresh mangos sing so it is perfect to make in the summertime.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Small, Ripe Mango
  • 10 Ice Cubes
  • 2 Double Shots Gin Mare (you’re at home – eyeball it!)
  • Soda Water
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and de-pit the mango, and chop it into rough chunks. You can set aside a couple of thin slices to garnish your glasses if you like (I did this in the pictures, but actually they look perfectly swish with just these lime green chevron paper straws in each glass!), before dumping it all in a blender (I have a basic Nutri Ninja, fyi).
  2. Divide the ice cubes between the glasses, and add the gin.
  3. Pour a good measure of soda water into the mango puree and stir until it is loose enough to drink and pour.
  4. Divide between each glass, top up with more soda water and stir each glass with a long spoon so that everything is cold and combined.
  5. Garnish with some freshly ground black pepper on top (optional, because some people won’t like spice in their drinks!)
