Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)

Ingredients:

[edit]

1⁄2 fresh	Lime (fresh) chopped
2 barspoon	Powdered sugar (white sugar ground in mortar and pestle)
2⁄3 oz	Chinola Mango Liqueur
2 oz	Absolut Mango Vodka from freezer

How to make:

1. Select and pre-chill a Highball (max 10oz/300ml) glass.
2. Prepare garnish of stirrer (spoon, wooden lolly stick or stick cut from sugar cane).
3. Cut a ripe lime in half (from pole to pole) and remove the core from each half by cutting a V-shaped groove. (You'll need one-half of the lime per cocktail.) CHOP into wedges and each wedge chopped in half before dropping the resulting 6 or 8 lime chunks into the base of shaker.
4. Add 2 bar spoons powdered sugar [or 15ml (½oz) sugar syrup 2:1] and MUDDLE.
5. Add mango liqueur and MUDDLE some more.
6. When sure the lime's juice is fully extracted and the sugar dissolved, POUR the muddled fruit and sugar into serving glass (preferably a 30cl / 10oz highball glass).
7. POUR mango vodka (stored in the freezer) into the shaker tin used to muddle and swirl to rinse tin before pouring vodka into serving glass. STIR to mix with other ingredients.
8. FILL glass with small cubes or cracked ice. (If using large ice cubes, crack (rather than crush) four to five large ice cubes using an ICE TAPPER and drop into serving glass.)
9. STIR before topping with more ice.
10. Serve with a stirrer.
