Ingredients
1medium-sized mango– roughly chopped
190ml– ¾ cup alcohol 95% OR 151 proof grain alcohol OR 255 ml – 1 cup vodka
190ml– ¾ cup water
130g– ⅔ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Place the mango pieces in a large glass jar and pour in the alcohol until fully covered. Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 30 days.
After 30 days, prepare a simple syrup by heating the water and sugar together until the sugar dissolves completely. Set it aside to cool.
Strain the mango-infused alcohol and combine it with the cooled syrup. Transfer the mixture to a clean jar, seal it, and leave it in a dark place for another 2 to 3 weeks.
Strain the liqueur again to remove any remaining solids, then bottle it.
