Ingredients

For the Mango Honey Simple Syrup:

3 small ripe mangos peeled and sliced
2/3 cup honey
1 cup water
8-10 leaves of fresh mint plus more to use as garnish

For the Vodka Cooler:

4 shots 1 1/2 ounces each of Zubrowka Vodka
8-10 fresh blackberries
1 can of sparkling water/club soda
Crushed ice

Instructions

Place the slices of mango in a large glass (or jar). Muddle them until they are thoroughly crushed. Alternatively, you can puree them in a food processor or blender.
Bring honey and water to a boil in a medium-size sauce pan over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Off the heat, add in the muddled mango and mint leaves and let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes. Strain the syrup into a pitcher and discard the solids. Let it cool completely before using.
Fill four 10-ounce glasses with crushed ice. Divide the mango simple syrup in between glasses. Pour 1 shot of Zubrowka in each glass. Top them off with club soda. Garnish them with fresh mint leaves and 2-3 blackberries for each glass.
Serve.
