Mango Mint Sparkler

The mangoes are back! Just like the tulips beginning to pop up all over the city, fresh yellow mangoes are another sure sign of spring. I stopped by the fruit cart for my daily dose of bananas and a bunch of sweet grapes and there was a big bin of mangoes. Oh, yes, I'll take a few of those too, please.

I've been craving a mango cocktail ever since my last mango cocktail way back last summer so that was up first. Something minty and lemony and refreshing was on my mind and a bottle of lemon-lime soda came in handy. Be warned, though, that this drink is deceptive. It just tastes like a delicious cooler and totally belies the 2 oz. of vodka in each glass. So dangerous but so fun. Cheers!
