Mango Purée:
2 fresh mangoes ripe, or 2 cups cubed frozen mango

1 tablespoon sugar
Martinis:
4 ounces dry vermouth
8 ounces vodka
1 cup ice, crushed, or a few ice cubes if using a blender
METHOD
Mango Purée:
Gather the ingredients. Place mango cubes in a blender or food processor.
Add the lime juice, water, and sugar. Blend well to create a smooth puree.
Martinis:
Unlike most "martini" recipes, this one is blended. This helps integrate the thick puree with the other ingredients and creates a luscious and slushy drink that is perfect for summer.
Make the mango puree and leave it in the blender.
Add the vermouth, vodka, and a handful of ice cubes (or up to 3/4 cup crushed ice). Blend well until it is nice and smooth.
