Fresh Philippine yellow mangoes Fresh labuyo (local red chillies) Premium soda water

EQUIPMENT

1 sealable jars Pitcher or carafe Cheesecloth Sieve

Find a sealable jar, scoop your mangoes and chop the chillies then drop them into the jar together. You can add mangoes or chilli depending on your taste preference. Pour in your vodka until you cover the contents of the jar. Leave to infuse for 2-3 days in the fridge. Using a sieve and a cheesecloth slowly pour the contents of the jar into a new bottle, carafe or serving vessel. To serve, fill a tall glass with ice, pour the spicy mango infusion and add 50ml of soda water initially to taste. If you find the drink too strong, pour 25-50ml more soda water. Stir well, add more ice if necessary, to fill the glass. Garnish with a slice of mango and enjoy.
