Mangosteen Cocktail

by Season with Spice

Ingredients

  • 2 shots Vodka (2 tbsp. = 1 shot)
  • 8 Mangosteens (origin: mainly Southeast Asia)
  • 2 tbsp. Freshly-squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 3 tsp. Raw or white sugar
  • 1 inch Young ginger*
  • Ice Cubes
  • 1 can Soda water

Preparation

  1. Open the mangosteens and place the small, seedless white pulp pieces in a blender.
  2. Set aside the large pulp pieces (the ones with a seed inside) for later, to eat while you drink the cocktail.
  3. Add the lemon juice, sugar, ginger, and about 10 ice cubes, into the blender, and blend until smooth.
  4. Add a shot of vodka into each glass with a few more ice cubes.
  5. hen fill both glasses halfway with the blended mix, and top off with soda water.
  6. Garnish with a lemon slice.

Additional Notes

*Young ginger is a sweeter and milder version of the spice, and mixes well in cocktails. If you don’t have it, feel free to take a shortcut by replacing the ginger and soda water with a can of ginger ale.
