Summer is officially the season of Mangoes. So, keep your guard down and get ready to get high on this light, sunny Mango Martini. Mind you, it has a shot of fresh ripe mango juice, vodka and lime juice. Go ahead then and bring out the martini shaker and make it soon, fellas? Here is how to make Mango Martini.
When it comes to beverages, I like a shot of fruit with any alcohol. As, it balances the flavour and just right too make you tipsy without a solid hangover. For instance, Virgin Jalapeno Guava Margarita, Red Wine Sangria, Virgin Strawberry Pineapple Sangria, Mango Basil Soda are as great as this mango drink to be sipped during parties.
Firstly, I sipped this Martini at a Thai restaurant and since the very first time, I have loved it natural taste and fizz. And guess what’s the good news? It is so simple to make that even your kid’s could make it without any assistance.
What’s in a Mango Martini?
This martini is full of fresh mango puree. Because it is that one important ingredient that makes or breaks this cocktail. In addition, we add loads of crushed ice and then vodka, Grand Marnier that’s it. Probably, you may also use triple sec for making this if you want or any orange flavoured liquor will do.
How to make Mango Martini?
Shake up the martini shaker with vodka, mango puree, crushed ice, lime juice, Grand Marnier. Now, serve it in a nicely rimmed Martini Glass and serve it fresh and cool to your guests. But, in case you are wondering how the rimming happens, let me help you out!
Also you can add some sugar syrup to the drink if the mangoes are not too sweet.
How to rim the Martini Glass?
Follow these easy peasy steps to get a tropical bar like rim on the Martini Glass:
- Take some water in a plate, dip the rim of the glass in it and then invert the glass on a plate filled with salt. Shake the glass gently to remove any excess salt.
- Alternatively, you could also rub lemon wedge on the rim and then invert the glass on a plate filled with salt.
I have used some sea salt for making this martini as it goes well with mangoes. However, you may suit yourself and use any other salt as well.
Overall, this cocktail is really exotic, perfectly sweet, tangy and refreshing. Do serve it for the next Thai or Asian themed party and people would sure root for this drink! And, here’s my recipe for the same:

Looks nice
Thnx. It tasted great too 🙂
What a great way to showcase mango. This drink sounds delicious. I think it would be great for a late brunch….but really poolside in the summer would be perfect.
We are sipping on it all through the summer. It’s so good 🙂
Oooh yes!! Summer is for mangos INDEED! And in a martini? Sooo refreshing! Love that it has a little fizz too, how fun!
So true. I am loving using it for all my recipes.
What a wonderful, tasty and beautiful looking drink. I love martinis so I am sure this cocktail will be made multiple times this summer. Love it and love mangoes!
Thnx 🙂
I love the combination of the salt on the rim with the sweet mango goodness. This recipe is perfect for summer. What a great way to keep cocktails interesting!
Yes. The salt and sweet mangoes is a great combo 🙂
Yes, please!! I’m a big fan of all things mango and I’m pretty much obsessed with the color of this martini. Perfection!
Thnx much 🙂
I cut my very first mango today! Well- correction- I SUCCESSFULLY cut my very first mango today. There’s been plenty of mangled mangoes that got thrown over the hill for the deer to eat. But now I feel so empowered, that I need to go make this drink. YUM
Mango is love. We get the best mangoes here in India. Do try this recipe. I am sure you will love it.
I love mango in the summer! This sounds like such a delicious cocktail and you mentioning having it at a Thai restaurant makes me think that it would be perfect with a nice shrimp roll or pad thai. So delicious!
Oh yes. Thats a great idea. I will make this next time to pair with my Mango Martini 🙂
Oooo! A mango martini sounds lovely. The sweet mango puree tempered by the zip of lime juice is an absolutely perfect combination.
It was indeed a lovely combo 🙂
What a great way to toast mango season! The cocktail is beautiful but aside from the eye appeal, I bet the taste is amazing. I’m definitely going to make this great looking drink especially with that squeeze of lime cutting the sweetness of the mango.
It tasted great 🙂
We had an impromptu happy hour last night and made these– had to run and get more mango, because we all wanted seconds! Cant beat that for a rave review!!
I am so glad the recipe worked for you 🙂
I love mango everything! i know I would love this refreshing cocktail. Do you know the best way to make a mango puree?
Just peel the mangoes and take out the flesh. Blend in a blender until smooth. Easy peeasy 🙂
I love a good mango drink! I wish I knew about this earlier so I could’ve made this over the wedding – we had two weddings and this would’ve been a refreshing change from all the rum and coke our tables had!
Oh yes. It would have been perfect. But no worries, you can try it out for any other occasion 🙂
YUM! Cant wait to try these out at our bbq this weekend. I literally grabbed a big box of mangoes today and they have been tempting me from the kitchen counter since we got home 🙂
So cool. Do try 🙂
I’m with you. Fruit plus alcohol FTW. They go together so nicely – probably unsurprising given how many fruits will turn into alcohol with a little bit of cajoling. I love the flavours you’re working with here, and I’m always on board with all-things-mango. Nicely done!
Thnx Sean 🙂
