Monsoon Mango Masala

Description

Mango syrup makes this rum highball fragrant and rounded, while lime adds a sharp edge. Cardamom brings its own citrus-like spice as the soda clears the palate. It’s a tall tropical drink for someone who enjoys warm spice and wants a finish lighter than a thick mango punch.

  • 45 ml Rum
  • 20 ml Mango Syrup
  • 20 ml lime juice
  • 10 ml Cardamom cordial

  • Lime Wheel

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.

Instructions

  1. Add the spirit, citrus and flavouring ingredients to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake briefly until the base is cold.
  3. Strain into the serving glass filled with fresh ice.
