Reviews
I followed this recipe exactly. I liked the taste, however the texture was a bit thick/gel-ish. The ginger simple syrup was awesome, that’s why I gave it 4 stars. I used the syrup later in a mixed berry daquiri, and it rocked! I think I would skip the peeling/dicing of the mangos and purchase a mango nectar, and then follow the recipe, I think it would make it a bit lighter. All in all, tasty!
This is an amzing and creative drink, well worth the effort.
I see where another poster feels “insulted” because this uses vodka instead of tequila…ROTFL! remember, creativity is the hallmark of a great chef…AND bartender!
thsi is NOT a margarita; margs use tequila. WHAT AN INSULT!!!!!!!!!!
It takes a little effort to make, but it is definitely worth the effort! (Effort=harder than mixing together rum and coke). This is one of the best drinks I have EVER had!
