Mangoes have returned and Angela Lawitlangpui knows how to make the best use of the summer fruit, especially its raw variety.

Her sweet, savoury and spicy Raw Mango Cocktail is a weekend brunch menu star or a weekday pick me up and can also be made minus the alcohol.

A refreshing drink for a hot day, it tastes phenomenal with the spicy bird's eye chilly and tangy fresh lime juice.
