Instructions
Prepare the Mango Puree:
Peel and pit a ripe mango. Blend the mango flesh until smooth. Strain it through a sieve to ensure a smooth cocktail.
Mix the Cocktail:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, mango puree, triple sec, and lime juice. If you like your cocktails a bit sweeter, add a dash of simple syrup.
Shake:
Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The vigorous shaking not only chills the drink but also blends the flavors well.
Serve:
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth drink.
Garnish:
Slice a thin piece of mango and place it on the rim of the glass or float it on top as a garnish.
Enjoy:
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors of your Mango Martini.
