Product Information

Place the outer edge of the glass in the sugar and rotate.Make sure the outer edge is evenly coated. We’ll be using white sugar, and whether that’s caster or granulated, it doesn’t matter. I’m going to give you a fairly wide range in the amount of sugar for this mango vodka. We’ll start with the lower amount (200g/1 cup), and we’ll add more halfway through, if you want it sweeter. We’ve made the Italian Limoncello, Rhubarb Gin, Raspberry Gin and the old British classic, Sloe Gin, just to name a few. They all follow the same formula of adding fruit/vegetable to alcohol, with sugar added. Then on top of that, depending on the drink (and my mood when making it), I may add additional flavourings like a vanilla pod, herbs, lemon and lime slices, and even dried chillies.

Over the years, I’ve made many, many alcoholic infusions, using vodka or gin as the base. If you’ve been following me a while, you’ll know this, of course. A handful of them have generated many social media posts from my readers and YouTube viewers, which means they must be good!

As you may know, the vodka martini is related to the classic Dry Martini in name only. Vodka martinis became popular in the 1990’s, mainly defined as a drink with vodka served in a martini glass. For the mango spin you can use the fresh or frozen fruit or the juice. The ingredients in a Mango Martini are: Cube the fruit, then blend with a splash of water until a puree forms.Go to our Mango Puree Recipe.Mango nectaris a beverage made from mango pulp and juice. It’s typically 50% or less juice. Mango nectar has a delicately sweet sour flavor: while it’s sweetened, the flavor isn’t overly sweet.

Keeping it simple, that’s all you need. If you are feeling adventurous, I give you the option of adding a couple of chipotle chillies or 1 ancho chilli. The former will add a smoky heat to our homemade mango liqueur, while the latter will add a sweet, raisin like flavour. Got ripe fresh mangos on hand? Then you’ll want to make the Homemade Mango Puree for this drink! It’s fast and easy to make in a blender. If you’re making multiple drinks, increase the quantities appropriately. You’ll need about 2 mangos to make 1 cup of puree. Here’s what to do: All homemade liqueurs make great gifts, whatever the occasion. See the difference in colour? The layers of muslin will affect that. The VodkaHowever, to ensure that your mango liqueur doesn’t freeze, the final alcohol level has to be above 30% abv (60 proof). So start with a high strength vodka, like 40% or even 37% will do. Take some water on a shallow plate, dip the rim of the glass in it, and then invert it on a plate filled with salt. Shake the glass gently to remove any excess salt. I love this drink because it is simple and needs just 4 ingredients – vodka, Grand Marnier, mango puree, and lime juice.
