Mango Lemonade Vodka Cooler

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

What's brunch without a refreshing cocktail? This mango lemonade vodka cooler gets its flavor from fresh lemons and Torani Mango Syrup, and is served in a JoyJolt double-walled glass to keep it cold for the whole meal.

Welcome to Day 6 of BrunchWeek 2019, hosted by Love and Confections and A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. We have 35 bloggers from around the United States sharing over 140 of their best Brunch recipes.

I'm finishing up BrunchWeek with a delicious, refreshing cocktail. As a BrunchWeek blogger, I received bottles of Torani Syrup in both Mango and Peach flavors, and I wasn't really sure what to do with them. I love Torani Vanilla Syrup in my coffee, but mango or peach coffee? No.

Then I went to Torani's website, and discovered their recipes page, and realized, of course! You can use their syrups in all kinds of beverages (not to mention cooking and baking recipes)! I've been wanting to make mango lemonade for quite some time, but it's a pain to buy and cut up a ton of mango just to make a bit of syrup to flavor the lemonade.

I've tried other brands of store-bought flavored syrups (and even flavored powdered mixes), but either the flavor of the syrup wasn't very strong, or it didn't have an authentic flavor. Neither of those are true about Torani. The flavor is strong, and tastes like real fruit.

So, when you're sitting at brunch, feasting and sipping on your drink, you don't want it to go warm halfway through the meal. I served my mango lemonade vodka coolers in these pretty JoyJolt double-walled Lacey glasses. The double walls mean that your drink stays cold (or hot, if you use them for hot drinks) while the outside of the glass remains comfortable to the touch. It also means that the warmth of your hand doesn't transfer to your cold drink!

Now, you could mix the lemonade, mango syrup and vodka all together in the pitcher in advance and pour drinks as needed. However, if you have guests under the age of 21, I recommend adding a shot of vodka to each adult's drink as it is poured, because you don't want to accidentally serve alcohol to a minor.

Feel free to try other Torani syrup flavors in this cooler recipe, too! Next time, I will try this with the Peach Syrup. Maybe go exotic with Guava Syrup, or classic with Strawberry Syrup. If you're watching your sugar intake, they have several sugar-free varieties, too.
