For refreshing summer cocktails, it doesn't necessarily have to be complicated. Frozen mango thickens and gives fresh orange juice an extra flavor. Unsweetened vanilla coconut milk provides a touch of sweetness and is sugar-free. Sweetened coconut cream is also an option. A manhattan margarita is another option that tastes delicious and makes a great light drink.
Mango margarita
As a summer drink, a mango margarita tastes delicious with the sweetness and earthiness provided by the tequila. Avoid using aged Tequila. It can cause the mango to be overpowered and impart an unpleasant oaky flavour. If you want to make the cocktail ahead of time, you can make simple syrup in advance and store it in a freezer. You can double the amount of sugar to water in your simple syrup and store it in the freezer for months.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
