Here’s one for the love of mangoes! For all those (comme moi) who cant get enough of those curvaceous, voluptuous, and abundantly available summer fruit …” kya thoda sa rumani ho jaye?” With your choice of Aam – fresh, canned, pulped, or juiced!
Crush the ice and add to shaker. Any bottle with a tight lid will also do. Add your choice of alcohol.
Take 60 -80 ml of any mango juice. I used Tropicana. If you are using fresh mango, I urge you to choose something flavourful that lends itself to juicing. Rasapuri is one example. It should be thin and not pulpy else the cocktail becomes too thick. Add to the shaker.
Add the lime juice. This quantity would depend upon the sweetness of the mango. You may need more if the mango is very sweet
Muddle a slice of jalapeno or 2-3 basil leaves. This will give the twist to the Sutra.
A few drops of bitters is optional.
Shake, shake, and shake that.
Dip a finger in to get the taste and adjust for flavours accordingly. It should have the right amount of tart, sweet, and some bite!
Choose a glass - curvaceous, wide-mouthed , tall, or short depending upon your mood. Pour and garnish with the bite you choose. Add a slice of mango! Cheers!
Drink it straight. In the company of friends.
Watch out for the consistency. You don't want to end up with a thick shake.
Best enjoyed in the company of friends ... but hey, it's covid time ... so what the h#$l ! Indulge in this Sutra by yourself!
