Servings: Makes about 1.3 litres (52 shots)
Calories: 27kcal
Equipment
- 1.5 litre (6 cups) large glass jar
- tall spoon
- Knife and chopping board
- strainer
- funnel
- muslin
- small bottles for the finished products (about 250 ml x 5 or 6)
Ingredients
- 5 very ripe mangoes
- 1 litre good quality vodka (37.5% - 50% abv) the stronger your vodka, the stronger the final drink
- 200 - 400 g white sugar
Optional Flavouring (only one chilli or one herb, or one of each)
- 2 chipotle chillies
- 1 ancho chilli
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 1 sprig rosemary
Instructions
- Peel and roughly chop up the mangoes, reserving the juices.
- Place the mangoes, the vodka and 200g (1 cup) of the sugar into a large, sterilised jar. If you are adding anything else, now's the time to do that too. Give everything a good stir.
- Cover and place in a dark place for 4 weeks. I place mine in a kitchen cupboard. In the first week, stir it every other day, or as often as you remember to!After that, give it a stir once or twice a week.
- To drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve or, if you like a crystal clear mango liqueur, strain though a double layer of muslin or cheese cloth into a sterilised bottle.
Notes
You will need 4 weeks of infusion time. Total time DOES NOT take into account the steeping period.
1 shot = 1 serving = 25 ml = 1 fluid oz
