DELICIOSO CÓCTEL DE MANGO VODKA

After a very busy week, a week of changes, of new beginnings on a new city, a new Project and all the chaos this brings, adding to the chaos, searching a new home, so that my 2 loves can come (my hubby and Baci). I think we deserve a drink hahaha, there have been sleepless days, of being managing a thousand things and still having to present new ideas, create new recipes and be ready to shoot on the same week.

After I arrived to Mexico my dream has always been living in DF, and even more when I stated working on my own, I knew I had to be here, but I never imagined it would be like this, well, they do say that thinks almost never happen the way you want to, but if you have a dream and/or goals, you have to fight and work for them, to make them come true, otherwise, they remain dreams.

It requires some courage, a bit of craziness and hope to be able to start anew and that is why I’ve been a bit absent here or at my social networks, you’ll soon learn of what I’m up to, but for the time being, I share with you this recipe of a vodka and mango cocktail that I made a few weeks ago because I knew I would be doing a thousand things and I wouldn’t have time for anything, and since I refuse to leave you stranded, I made a few recipes that I will be sharing with you little by little while I finish installing fixing the kitchen of my new apartment and getting my things from the moving so I can start cooking again.

This mango and vodka drink is super tasty, and it can go as a cocktail, because it is refreshing, but don’t be confused, it can go up your head really quick, so drink with moderation, but do taste it, it is delicious, the mango combined with the vodka and the blackberries can make a very delicious combination, this drink is perfect for a BBQ or a casual day like today. Share a drink with a friend, have a nice talk, relax and enjoy, the weekend is almost here, see you later, I send lots of kissesand even if I’m not around as much as before, I’m still here, it is just till the moving madness ends and we’ll return to our usual! Kisses

MANGO VODKA COCKTEIL

Prep. Time  10 min

A super refreshing mango and vodka cocktail, with carrots to add an exotic and unique touch to our weekend drink.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

•  ½ cup vanilla sugar
•  ½ cup water
• 1 cup mango
• Vodka
•  250 ml of mineral water
• Blackberries
•  Mint leaves
• Ice

Instructions

1. Start by making a simple syrup to sweeten the mango and vodka cocktail, it’s very easy, just put sugar in a pot and then add water, cook over high heat until it thickens, turn off the fire and let it cool.

2. Then put in a blender or food processor the mango and then add simple syrup, blend well and set aside.

3. Pour some mango syrup into a glass, then add lots of ice and then the vodka, I put in each cup about 2 oz which is like a whole glass of tequila, but it is to taste, finish the drink by adding mineral water, mint leaves and some blackberries, stir well and ready.
