From Hounslow and Hamburg to Hyderabad and beyond, Hindus the world over will be celebrating Holi next week, and we’ll be doing so with this vibrant, perky cocktail. At the bar, we finish it off with a couple of drops of aloe vera gel, but it’s not essential.
Serves
150ml good-quality vodka we use Russian Standard 25ml freshly squeezed lime juice 20ml mango puree (fresh or from a tin) 5ml gomme syrup 10ml ginger beer a good, fiery one, such as Old Jamaica
Put the vodka, lime juice, mango puree, syrup and ginger beer in a shaker, add ice and shake hard.Double strain into a coupe glass, top up with prosecco (and add two drops of aloe vera gel afterwards, if you fancy) and serve.
