A classic gimlet with a welcome summery smack of mango

This welcome reminder of summer flavours was developed for the Hoppers cocktail list, and is a perfect toast to the mark the end of London Cocktail Week this weekend. The cordial makes a fair bit, but it keeps for about a week in the fridge, and can also be used to flavour gin or vodka and tonic, or to make a refreshing soft drink by adding about 10ml to a glass of soda or sparkling water.
