Really enjoyed this. One more cardamom pod wouldn't hurt. I made my own mango puree with frozen mango slices I bought at an Indian market yesterday. Maybe enhanced the mouthfeel a little too much? Also, I didn't have vodka (Grey Goose does sound good in this), so I went with Bacardi, and that was a terrific match.
Thanks for bringing this error to my attention Florian. I've corrected to say vodka. Elton John's 'Character & Cocktails' was sponsored by Grey Goose vodka.
