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 it.
When it comes to beverages, I like a shot of fruit with any alcohol.
As it balances the flavor and just right to make you tipsy without a solid hangover.
For instance, Virgin Jalapeno Guava Margarita, Red Wine 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 its natural taste and fizz.
About the recipe
This martini is full of fresh mango puree. Because it is one important ingredient that makes or breaks this cocktail.
In addition, we add loads of crushed ice and then vodka and Grand Marnier, that’s it.
Probably, you may also use triple sec for making this if you want or any orange-flavored liquor will do.

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 a 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.
A mix of salt and red chilli also works great for rimming for this cocktail.
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:
Rub a lemon on the rim of the glass.
Press the glass over the salt in a plate.
