Smokey Mango Cocktail

This Smokey Mango Cocktail is perfect for the Summer season and should be on your list of what to drink this weekend. Using the fresh flavors of mangos and the smokiness of a homemade smoked simple syrup, this cocktail is sure to be a showstopper for any celebration.

Don’t have a smoker? That’s okay! This cocktail has such a great flavor due to the fresh mango puree, you can use a variety of different simple syrups that will help elevate your cocktail. My favorite substitution for this smoked simple syrup is a jalapeno simple syrup. That way you are still getting a kick of flavor!

Need help making a homemade mango puree? It’s super simple. All you need is two mangos to blend until smooth, that’s it!
