Mango & Mint

To help with the thickness we half the fresh mango with juice though it is still more viscous redelelicent . This is another brilliant summer drink, the ice cubes are a nice touch but as a garnish are purely a luxury. 

serves 8 

3 cups mango juice

1 whole mango, chopped, about 1 cup

1 cup vodka 

four sprigs fresh mint picked clean, plus 36 leaves  

36 frozen raspberries 

juice of two limes

32 raspberry ice cubes* 

Blend 1 cup mango juice, pulp, vodka and mint with the lime juice until smooth. For the ice cubes place 1 raspberry and 1 mint sprig in each slot of an ice cube tray and cover with the remaining mango juice. This will melt and not water down the drink, plus its visually appealing. These can be made weeks ahead in bulk and kept in an air tight container in your freezer.
