Fresh Mango Lemonade
Mango lends a luscious and elegant dimension to fresh lemonade, and a dash of Angostura bitters underscores the sweet tartness of the drink. This perfect spring or summer refresher from Ayesha Curry is delicious as-is, but you could certainly spike it with vodka or a complementary liqueur for a sunny, vibrant cocktail. The recipe calls for honey mangoes, also commonly labeled as Ataúlfo or Champagne mangoes, a smaller, bright golden-yellow variety from Mexico.
Ingredients
- 1 honey mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 3⁄4 Cup sugar
- 4 Cup water
- 1 Cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon bitters, such as angostura
