2nd #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on the 4th March: Mango Vodka Sour

The second of our cocktails this evening turned out a startling pink; the recipe did call for grenadine so that’s what we used; simply syrup may have been a better choice as that would have left us with a mango coloured drink.

However, this does taste of mango and is delicious.

Mango Vodka Sour

Prep Time2 mins

A refreshing mango sour (with an odd colour).

 50 ml vodka
 25 ml mango syrup
 25 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
 12.50 ml grenadine syrup

1

Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

2

Add all ingredients and shake until well chilled.

3

Strain into a tumbler over fresh ice.

We'd expect a mango sour to be yellow/orange in colour, but this comes out pink due to the grenadine; perhaps next time we'll make this with simple syrup instead.
