I love mango cocktails and anything that mixes fruit and spice – especially Moscow mules. And this one has it all! Fruitiness from fresh mango puree, warm spice from ginger beer and lingering heat from the chili pepper.

Ingredients

  • Ginger beer – ave the ginger ales and super sweet ginger beer sodas for sipping and reach for a great high quality ginger beer like Q Mixers ginger beer.
  • Mango – both mango purée and mango spears for garnish. To pick a ripe mango look for fruit with a smooth peel that is not too soft but gives to the pressure of your finger. Alternatively you can also use frozen mango chunks or canned mango purée or juice.
  • Jalapeño or other chili like Thai red or habanero adds just another notch of spice. Not a fan of spice? Simply leave it out for a regular mango moscow mule.
  • Vodka – Use whatever vodka you’ve got. No vodka? Play around with tequila, whiskey or even gin or leave out the alcohol all together for a Spicy Mango Mocktail.
  • Lime – Fresh lime juice is always ideal, but bottled lime will do in a pinch.
  • Chili salt – Make chili salt at home by mixing whatever chili powder and salt you have on hand. Combine together on a small plate and use to rim the glasses or dip mango spears in as garnish.

Step by step instructions

  1. Make fresh mango puree peel and add mango chunks to a blender or food processor. Squeeze in some lime and enough water to get it moving (about ¼ cup of water per mango depending on size). Use immediately or store refrigerated for up to 7 days.
  2. In a large shaker add 1 jalapeño round (deseeded if desired). Press down with the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler to crush, releasing the oils. Add mango puree, vodka and lime juice. Shake to combine.

  1. Pour over ice into a copper mug or tall glass, straining to remove the jalapeño. There’s no need to strain over ice if omitting the jalapeño, simply pour it all in a mug instead.
  1. Top with ginger beer.
  1. Garnish with a chili-dipped mango spear. To make mango garnish simply peel and cut a large spear from mango. Using a sharp knife score overlapping lines across the top edge of the spear and dip in chili salt before serving.

  1. Enjoy!

Make ahead Moscow mules

Both the mango purée and infused vodka can be made ahead of time and used when desired. The puree can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. The vodka can infuse for up to a month with fresh jalapeno. Just keeep in mind the longer it infuses, the stronger it will be.

Mix up a big batch cocktail in a pitcher to serve cocktails all night without having to ‘man the shaker’. Simply combine mango purée, lime juice and vodka in a large pitcher and stir in jalapeño slices. When ready to serve remove jalapeño, add ice and top with ginger beer.

Make it your own

  • Want it spicier? Use an infused vodka (either habanero or jalapeño) or muddle more jalapeños in the shaker.
  • Less spicy? Omit the jalapeños all together. Q Ginger Beer has a bit of spice already mixed in!
  • Alcohol free version – Simply omit the vodka and add more ginger beer for a refreshing and fun beverage sans alcohol.
