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