A summer delight, a spicy fiery gingery hit against the sweet delicious luscious mango!
I whisk up a basic sorbet concoction with mango pulp and a simple lemongrass-infused sugar syrup, set overnight, and then simply toss into a large wine glass, and add a bit of finger ale for fizz. Of course, you have full permission to sub with a chilled prosecco – as I have done countless times!
I did not have a popsicle mould, so I used silicon mini cupcake moulds which I must admit, was a lot of fun to pop into the mouth at any odd time!
The Recipe

Mango sorbet:
1 mango, pulped and juiced, strained

¼ cup sugar

Lemongrass Syrup:
Place all the ingredients together in the sauce pot and bring to a boil, followed by a simmer, stirring occasionally until you get your sugar syrup consistency
