Directions

Prepare the Mango Syrup

1. Combine mango chunks, sugar, and lime zest in a Cambro.
2. Allow the mango chunks to thaw completely and macerate with the sugar and lime zest.
3. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
4. Strain and refrigerate until ready to use.

Build the Cocktail

5. Add mango syrup and shochu to a mixing tin. Add pebble ice and whip shake briefly to combine and chill.
6. Dump the contents into a glass. Fill the glass halfway with pebble ice.
7. Add 1–2 oz soda water and gently stir to combine. Fill the glass with additional pebble ice.
8. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Place the Yakult bottle between the mint sprig and pebble ice, "Corona-Rita" style, so the bottle is presented upright alongside the cocktail.
