- 5 very ripe mangoes
- 1 litre good quality vodka ((37.5% - 50% abv) the stronger your vodka, the stronger the final drink)
- 200-400 g white sugar

Peel and roughly chop up the mangoes, reserving the juices.

Place the mangoes, the vodka and 200g (1 cup) of the sugar into a large, sterilised jar. If you are adding anything else, now's the time to do that too. Give everything a good stir.

Cover and place in a dark place for 4 weeks. I place mine in a kitchen cupboard. In the first week, stir it every other day, or as often as you remember to!After that, give it a stir once or twice a week.

To drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve or, if you like a crystal clear mango liqueur, strain though a double layer of muslin or cheese cloth into a sterilised bottle.
