Recipe - Mango Splash

4 Ripe mangos
1/3 cup Curacao or other orange
flavored cordial
3 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
3 tablespoon Sugar
2 Bottles sarkling white wine,
chilled
Lime wedges for garnish

Note Before buying the mangoes, sniff them: they should have a pleasant,
sweet aroma. For the bubbles, choose a nottoosweet sparkling wine, such
as a French cremant de Bourgogne or an Italian prosecco. For a nonalcoholic
cocktail, mix with ginger ale.

Hold a mango stemend up and slice flesh away from the long flat stone in
long, vertical sections. Slice the flesh from the skin. Repeat these steps
with the remaining mangoes. Cut 12 thin, uniform slices for garnish and set
them aside. Press the remaining mango slices through a strainer into a
bowl. (You should have 1 One half cups mango puree.) Stir in curacao, lime
juice and sugar. (The mango puree and garnish can be prepared up to 8
hours ahead and stored in spearate covered containers in the refrigerator).
Pour about 2 Tbsp. mango puree into a glass, top with sparkling wine,
garnish with a lime wedge and a mango slice and serve.
