How to make a Mango Star

Chill a coupe glass.

Pro tip

Mango purées vary greatly in sweetness. Start with the smaller vanilla-syrup measure, then adjust only after tasting the shaken mix.

History of the Mango Star

The Mango Star is a contemporary tropical riff on the Pornstar Martini. Mango takes the lead while the original's vanilla-vodka and lime structure keeps the drink from becoming overly sweet.
