One sure way to know that spring has arrived is mangoes showing up at your local grocery stores. The sweet and juicy tropical fruits make great warm weather cocktails. Like this one!
I combine the mango with tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, fresh ginger and cilantro. For this cocktail I used Casamigos tequila - yes, George Clooney's brand LOL thanks to my future brother-in-law who we have a running joke of buying each other famous people's liquors for birthdays. Its actually pretty good! Just be careful not to have tooooo many of these. They are strong and you might actually show someone your mangoes. You've been warned.
