Mango Ginger Martini Recipes

MANGO MARTINI

Steps:

• Place granulated sugar in a single layer on a plate. Cut a notch in a lime wedge and run it around the rum of the glass to wet it. Then roll the rim in the sugar until evenly coated.
• Place the mango puree, vodka, Cointreau, lime juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice and shake until cold. Strain the drink into the prepared martini glass.

GINGER MARTINI

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker or small pitcher with ice. Add the vodka, ginger syrup, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker mists up the drink is ready.) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add twist and serve.
• Remove the outer peel of the lemon with a vegetable peeler, taking care not to include too much of the bitter white pith. Finely chop the lemon peel and ginger in a food processor.
• Transfer the lemon-ginger mixture to a medium saucepan, add the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• Yield: 2 cups

MANGO CHAI MARTINI

Steps:

• Place the juice, vodka, sugar and Chai Masala into a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Shake until ice cold, and then strain into a martini glass.
• Thread chunks of mango on a toothpick or cocktail stick and use to garnish the drink.
• Grind the fennel seeds, green cardamom pods, cloves, ginger, brown cardamom pods and cinnamon stick in an electric spice grinder. Store in an airtight jar.

MANGO-LIME SPRITZER

Steps:

• Divide the mango juice and lime juice between two glasses over ice, if desired. Top off with ginger beer. Add a lime wheel and a mango spear for garnish.

ZENTINI (GINGER MARTINI)

Steps:

• To a martini shaker add, the vodka, ginger syrup, mint, and lime juice. Shake and serve in a chilled martini glass.
• In a small saucepan add the water, ginger and sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Continue to heat on a simmer to make a simple syrup, about 20 minutes. When ready, strain and transfer to a glass container and allow to cool to room temperature.
