Guest Post: Mango Moonshine Boozer
Jump to RecipeNote from Nick: This delicious drink on a Monday is brought to you from Olga, the wonderful blogger over at Mango & Tomato. She did me a solid favor by sharing a favorite recipe during my Peru vacation. Enjoy the photos… enjoy the drink! All the photos in this post are copyrighted by Olga Berman.
Over the summer, I received an awesome present from Mango.org: a box of mangos.
They must have figured out that I love mangos.
Of course that got me thinking about what I could get in the mail if I renamed my blog Diamonds and Platinum or Caviar and Lobster, etc.
But let’s get back to the topic.
Besides eating them as-is, I love incorporating them into ice cream, frozen yogurt, and muffins.
This time, I thought I’d do something different. I’ve had an unopened bottle of Moonshine courtesy of Troy & Sons from my Asheville trip, and decided to open it up and make a fun drink using it and mangoes.

Frozen drinks made with moonshine and fresh mango!
Ingredients
Instructions
1) Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend till smooth.
2) Poor into cold glasses. Garnish with mint.
3) Drink!
4) Optionally, you can pour drink into ice cube trays and freeze solid for little bites.
The Fruits
There’s nothing to this recipe. Just chop up the fruit and blend it with booze and some ice until it’s nice and smooth!
Note from Nick: I’m very jealous of the below bottle of booze.
For a bit of color, you can also add a dash of pomegranate or cranberry juice!
Frozen Variety
These were pretty strong, I must admit. I didn’t think I could drink an entire glass, not to mention two. So I poured the mixture into an ice tray and made boozy popsicles!
All you have to do is let the mixture freeze for about ten minutes, then add toothpicks and continue to freeze till these become solid. Or of course you could also use popsicle molds.
Love these!
Another note from Nick: If I can get my hands on some good mangos you better believe I’m making a batch of these as soon as my flight lands!
I wonder if you could use other fruits? If you have any good ideas, leave a comment!

Hello! My name is Nick Evans and I write and manage Macheesmo. I started Macheesmo 11 years ago when I was just learning my way around the kitchen. I love to cook and love everything food-related, but I have no formal training. These days I focus on fast, accessible recipes with the occasional “reach” recipe!
I’ve posted almost 2,000 recipes on Macheesmo. For each one, I do my best to give full explanations of what I did and tips on what I’d do differently next time. I’ll bring up the tricky parts and the easy parts.
I hope you can find something and cook something!
Is Moonshine something that’s readily available? I don’t recall seeing it.
Hi! I’m honestly not sure. I received a bottle of Moonshine from Troy and Sons, so I haven’t tried to find it elsewhere. You could try to do the same with vodka but add more mangoes. This was super boozy ;)

Now vodka and I are tight…it’s all good!
Nick, I bet you could make these with peaches, nectarines, pineapple and even watermelon.
This sounds wonderful. I think I know what the adults at my son’s birthday party can have instead of root beer.
brilliant! :)
I like this a lot! Living in the stomping grounds of Popcorn Sutton, we have enjoyed our share of high quality shine. Tucking this recipe away for the next pint that comes our way.
I love Mango’s so this drink sounds delicious. Plus I have a great source for Moonshine ;)
