Ingredients
I love this drink because it is so simple and needs just 4 ingredients – vodka, Grand Marnier, mango puree, and lime juice.
Mango Puree – I would recommend you to get your hands on those fresh and juicy mangoes and make mango puree out of them for this drink. I personally like to use champagne mangoes or Florida mangoes, as they are sweet and juicy. But you can go ahead and use any ripe and sweet mango that you prefer.
In case you do not get fresh mangoes or they are out of season, you can try this drink with canned mango puree, or you can just puree thawed frozen mangoes.
Vodka & Grand Marnier – You can use any unflavoured vodka of your choice. Grand Marnier is an orange-flavored liqueur that gives this drink a very refreshing taste. You can use other orange-flavored liqueurs like Triple sec or Cointreau in place of Grand Marnier.
Lime Juice – Use freshly squeezed lime juice to add a nice tangy touch to this sweet drink.
If your mangoes are not sweet enough, you can also add in a little sugar syrup to suit your taste.
How to rim the Martini Glass?
Follow these easy steps to get a tropical bar like rim on the Martini glass:
- Take some water on a shallow plate and 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 a lemon wedge on the rim and then invert the glass on a plate filled with salt.
I have used sea salt for rimming the glass as it goes well with mangoes. However, you may suit yourself and use any other salt.
A mix of salt and red chili also works great for rimming for the cocktail glasses.
