MANGO NECTAR PUNCH FULL

I combed through my fridge until I found fruit juices that just screamed Flirting with Flavors! The punch was a total hit, and we sipped our punch on my terrace while overlooking Central Park. Mix gold rum, passion-fruit concentrate, mango nectar, guava nectar, and 2 tablespoons lime juice in pitcher. I created an Asian-influenced menu and needed a drink that would compliment the flavors. Add the vodka, lime juice, salt, and syrup or sugar. Trim away the remaining flesh from the stone. Do the same on the other side of the mango. And, of course, I love my cocktails especially when I’m having guests over. I hosted a cooking party Monday night for 6 fabulous women. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon or score the cut piece lengthwise and crosswise into cubes and scoop them away from the peel. It’s my go-to morning after cure, and my favorite way to hydrate. This recipe was inspired by my love of coconut water. What better way is there to toast to life’s little milestones than with a little boozy punch? Answer: nothing! There are graduation celebrations, baby showers, weddings, cookouts, and dinner parties galore! It is time to break out the linen dresses, white slacks, and our favorite pairs of sunnies (and the alcohol) and celebrate! This weekend, for Memorial Day, I’m heading to the Hamptons for a little sun, some good food, and great company.

MANGO NECTAR PUNCH FULL

I absolutely love this time of year! On top of everything else, party season is definitely in full swing. Taste, adding more lime juice, if desired. On that note- it’s almost summer! The Met Gala has come and gone, The James Beard Awards have been doled out, and the lush greenery right outside my apartment in Central Park is so vibrant it almost looks like a rainforest. Mix gold rum, passion-fruit concentrate, mango nectar, guava nectar, and 2 tablespoons lime juice in pitcher.

I know I have a few! Whether it was from your first mixer, getting in trouble for spiking the punch at your prom, or hosting your first cookout, the punch bowl is a cornerstone of warm weather memories. Everyone has one memory or another involving punch.
