Summer Cocktail Recipes: How to make Mango Chilli Mojito and Aam Panna Margarita

Have a chill summer with these raw and ripe mango cocktails from Dishkiyaaon, Mumbai.

Summers are here and that calls for a poolside chill session with some alcohol thrown in. Summers also mean mango season and there are a lot of ways you can get creative with mangoes, both ripe and raw. If you’re anything like us, you’ll definitely want to experiment with various mango dishes like salads, desserts and even drinks and cocktails. The latter is a fool-proof way of beating with heat, while also having some fun. The aam panna margarita cocktail and the mango chilli mojito cocktail are both perfect drinks for a hot summer afternoon.

Aam Panna is a popular drink made from jaggery and raw mango puree and is typically made in summers as it has heat-resistance properties. It’s tasty and healthy as it quenches thirst and supplies the body with sodium chloride and iron that is lost due to sweating due to intense heat. Aam Panna is also effective against gastrointestinal disorders. Mango and chilli is a delicious combination that is used to make sweet mango chutney in summers, and is a common dip for Indian flat breads like parathas and pooris. ALSO READ: 6 Indian sharbat recipes to keep you cool this summer
