Let this weekend be about creating a splendid Mango Cocktail that marries the sweet, juiciness of ripe mangoes with the khatta of lime, the woody flavour of cinnamon and spicy notes of ginger ale.
Chef Pawan Kumar's refreshing gin-based drink is garnished with chunks of raw mango and served in a mule mug and may be the loveliest thing you might imbibe this weekend, so cheers!
It uses mango puree as a sweetener and is a happy addition to a Saturday/Sunday evening get-together.
Ranchi-raised Chef Kumar, has worked in the food industry for 19 years, in international cruise liner kitchens too. His long cool mango cocktail is, in fact, just the thing for a la-di-da day at the beach or sailing on a yacht.
Mango Cocktail

Ingredients
Method
Editor's Note: To make your own dehydrated lime, cut a neebu into very thin slices using a very sharp knife (carefully). Place the slices, spread out, on a plate and sprinkle sugar on the slices. Microwave till the lemon slices get coated with dark melted sugar and dry up.
Chef Pawan Kumar is the executive chef at The Park, Navi Mumbai.
