Way back last summer, on holiday in Italy, we watched some late night fireworks on the beach and the inspiration for a spicy cocktail was formed. This Chilli Mango Punch is not that cocktail.
That cocktail was going to arrive on here today, but I got sidetracked by the photos for this Chilli Mango Punch. I think the light-box sign (borrowed from my daughter) and the kitschy cocktail umbrella (um… mine) had me sold. It’s not my usual photography style at all, but I had so much fun shooting this cocktail…
Anyway, this cocktail. First off, it has a little heat. That’s from my homemade Chilli Vodka (which you can customise to your own preferred spicy heat level). But it also has a delectable tropical fruitiness from some sweet and floral mango liqueur and a generous splash of pineapple juice. To round things off, I’ve added a gentle sparkle to the blend with lemonade.
This cocktail is definitely a drink to linger over. The heat of the chilli vodka makes this drink one to sip rather than gulp down. You won’t fail to notice the chilli notes in your first sip. But that fieriness is softened by the sweetness from the other ingredients.
Chilli Mango Punch is a great drink to serve when you have adventurous foodie friends coming over. Or when you want a long drink that you really can dawdle over.

I loved creating this cocktail recipe. I just hope that you love the flavour of it as much as I do.

Ha! Ha! Jane…so that is what I have to look forward to when I finally attempt to make my own videos? Well. . ..I like your new video and can only hope that my first video turns out half as good. And this cocktail. . .I’m loving that it is a bit on the feisty side. Plus it’s loaded down with accessories. . .just the way I like it.
Jane Saunders
oh Lynn, I am doing some serious research before my next one. Unless I go into a niche and be the blogger who only shoots videos – that could work. Glad you like the drinkie and all of it’s bling – no point being it being fiesty if it’s going to dress as a wallflower

Good job with the video, I like how the stirrer is actually the chilli- no mistaking that this one will be hot!! Love the flavors!
Jane Saunders
🙂 Yup, I definitely felt the need to make the spice obvious – no nasty shocks for anybody that way.

Your video is fab, nice and to the point. I imagine this drink is a lovely evening treat to linger over and wind down. The mix of ingredients sounds really lovely, and very complimentary.

Ah, thankyou Helen. It’s one of my favourites for a long time and the video was a real boost to my confidence. All I have to do now is master the square formal 😉
