During mango season in Miami there is an abundance of mangoes.  Since I have two friends with mango trees in their backyard, I had an endless supply.  I made mango salsa, mango and quinoa salad, mango smoothies, and this yummy Mango Moscow Mule with homemade ginger simple syrup.

Mango Mule recipe:

1.5 oz Tito’s Vodka
1 oz fresh mango nectar or juice
1 oz fresh lime juice
.25 oz ginger simple syrup (see recipe below)
2 oz Reed’s Ginger Brew (or Ginger Beer)

1 slice candied ginger and lime on pick for garnish

Fill rocks glass with ice.  Add ice, vodka, mango nectar, lime juice, and simple syrup into a shaker.  Shake well and strain into rocks glass.  Top with ginger brew.  Garnish with candied ginger and lime on a pick.

Bonus recipe:

Ginger simple syrup

In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup of water with ½ cup of sugar and heat over medium heat until combine into syrup. Add 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Let cool before using.
