Cocktail serving glass (Double Old Fashioned)
Knife and cutting board
(for the lime and mango)
Citrus juicer
(for the lime)
Cocktail pick
(for the mango garnish)
Ingredients
1
ounce
lime juice
(from approximately one whole fresh lime, and save the lime shell for a garnish)
½
ounce
orange Curaçao
¼
ounce
orgeat
¾
ounce
mango nectar
(see Notes)
2
ounces
aged rum
3
mango slices
(for garnish)
Instructions
Garnish
Slice one side off of a ripe mango and place it cut side down on your cutting board.
Cut three strips of mango from the center of the piece, about ⅛" thick.
Arrange the three mango strips like a fan and thread a cocktail pick through all three pieces (at the bottom of the fan shape). Set aside.
Cocktail
Juice a fresh lime and set one of the lime shell halves aside with the mango slices while you make the rest of the drink.
Measure and add the lime juice, orange Curaçao, orgeat, mango nectar and rum to the cocktail shaker.
If you don't have pre-crushed ice, use a blender, ice crusher or mallet and Lewis bag to crush the ice.
Fill the shaker with crushed ice. Seal the shaker and shake it only a couple of times, just until the shaker is frosty on the outside.
Pour the shaken drink, ice and all, into the serving glass.
Top the drink with the spent lime shell, rest the cocktail pick with the mango slices on top, and serve.
