Summer Mango Cocktail

Anyone who loves mango will enjoy this refreshing summery beverage, which is not too sweet and slightly tart. It's easy to make with fresh mango, although you can also puree fresh mango and freeze it until ready to use. Delicious as a standalone or part of a theme party or brunch, simplicity is what makes this recipe perfect for snowbirds. For a mocktail, substitute lemon-lime soda or tonic water instead of vodka. Summer Mango Cocktail was inspired by a composite of recipes. 


Snowbird meals tend to be much simpler, using fewer ingredients and a very limited selection of appliances and gadgets to prepare them. Choose the freshest, highest quality ingredients and find alternate ways to make your favorite recipes. Forget about what you don't have to cook with, instead focus on what you can accomplish with what you do have. - Midlife Snowbird
