These Aam Panna & Vodka Summer Cocktail Recipes Are Truly Sensational
INDIAN summers can be harsh, but there is always Aam Panna to help you survive this unforgiving season. This traditional Indian drink not only cools you down but also throws a party for your taste buds with its tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy flavour profile. But why stop at traditional when you can add a little pzazz?
Let's turn this beloved mango marvel into the base for some seriously cool vodka cocktails. In this version of an Indian summer, Aam Panna meets vodka, and the results are as delightful as a sudden shower on a hot afternoon.
Aam Panna Martini
Imagine the classic martini but with a desi twist. Swap out the vermouth for Aam Panna; the tanginess of the green mango is a game changer. Shake up 50 ml of Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka with 30 ml of Aam Panna and a dash of lime juice. Serve it straight up in a chilled martini glass with a rim lightly dusted with salt and chilli powder, and you've got yourself a drink that's not just a cocktail but a conversation starter.
Aam Panna Moscow Mule
Now, for a summer-y take on the Moscow Mule. This isn't just any mule; it's a ride through the orchards with a spicy kick. Grab your copper mug (because we're keeping traditions alive) and fill it with ice. Add 60 ml of vodka and top it with 120 ml of Aam Panna. Add just a splash of ginger beer. Garnish with a mint sprig and a slice of lime. It's refreshing, with a depth of flavour that'll have you pondering the complexities of life, or at least what to snack on next.
Aam Panna Vodka Soda
Sometimes, simplicity is key. This one's for those evenings when you want something light and refreshing but with a bit more personality than your standard vodka soda. In a tall glass filled with ice, combine 45 ml of vodka with a generous pour of Aam Panna; let's say about 75 ml. Top it off with soda water for that fizzy lift. Stir gently, garnish with a few mint leaves, and perhaps a twist of lime. It's easy to drink, easy to make, and sure to be a hit when you're lounging by the pool or just dreaming of cooler climates.
Aam Panna Vodka Slush
And for those sweltering days when the heat seems unbeatable, the Aam Panna Vodka Slush comes to the rescue. Blend together ice, 45 ml of Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka and 90 ml of Aam Panna until it reaches that glorious slushie consistency. Pour it into a chilled glass, and garnish with a sprig of mint. It's cool, it's slushy, and it's your best bet against the summer heat.
