    Sparkling Mango Mint Lemonade

    With vodka, duh.

    It is Cocktail Friday, after all, right? If you've been reading WANM for a while or following our Twitter, you know I have a major mango obsession. Every time I slice a mango, I end up eating the whole thing. Gluttony at its finest. But since mangoes have lots of vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber, I don't feel too bad about it. We'll ignore the sugar for a few moments.

    Tonight I decided I wanted to make a mango cocktail and though I'm no mixologist, I figured I'd try to make my own drink filled with the ingredients I love. And thus the Sparkling Mango Mint Lemonade (with vodka, duh) was born. And it was a delicious invention.

    Sparkling Mango Mint Lemonade (makes 2 large drinks):
    Print this recipe!

    • 1.5 C mango, peeled and diced
    • 1 handful mint
    • 8 oz. vodka
    • 1.5 C sparkling lemonade

    If you haven't tried this sparkling lemonade from Trader Joe's, you must. It's fab without vodka, too. They also have a pink lemonade and my fave limeade.

    This drink is super quick and easy, but you should chop your mango a bit ahead of time and stick it in the freezer. You'll want it to be nice and chilled. If you can't get fresh mango, you can always use frozen.

    Once your mango is chilled, put it in the blender with the mint and vodka.

    I added a little vodka at a time, but eventually settled on 8 ounces, which seemed pretty perfect.

    Blend the mixture until it's nice and smooth and pour it in a glass.

    Top off with sparkling lemonade.

    And enjoy your cocktail Friday. You'll definitely need to give this a good stir or two, as to mix the puree with the fizz.

    I'm absolutely loving this drink! It's packed with mango flavor, with the perfect touch of mint and the lemonade gives a nice bubbly touch. Plus, it was actually sunny out today and this drink was nice and cold!

    So, that's how I'm getting my weekend off to a good start (yes, I'm still sipping!). How about you? This weekend is packed with our friend's bachelorette party on Saturday and my burger being served at Bristol Lounge on Sunday with a few other fun things in between. Definitely not complaining, but feeling a little bit overwhelmed since we're off to Atlanta for BlogHer Food next week with another fun trip planned right before! And about a million tons of work to do before then. Yikes! Tonight is definitely all about relaxation.

    Happy weekend to everyone! What will you be sipping on this weekend?

      Have you ever eaten a mango like an apple? With big, gaping bites. Well, don't do it. You'll end up with mango threads in your teeth. :/ lol Great cocktail though!

      ow- looks awesome! I am a HUGE mango fan! And I love how fizzy the drink gets. Sounds like you have a nice weekend plan. Enjoy the bachelorette party and take lots of pictures of your burger for us!! We have lots of fun on tap this weekend- went to frozen yogurt tonight (so good), tomorrow=step, hair apt, party, Sunday= brunch with friends.

      I do the same thing with mangos...which means I'm just going to have to come over and have you make this for me because I cannot be controlled around them! Looks delicious and the perfect way to kick off the weekend!

      Okay, question: How do you chop a mango? Every time I try to slice one up, I feel like a large amount of mango is unused. How do you know where the pit begins when you slice in?

    12. Kerstin says

      May 14, 2011 at 4:06 pm

      I love mango drinks and adding the sparkling lemonade is such a fabulous idea too - yum!
