Mango Libre for a Crowd

This Mango Libre is a tropical spin on a classic cocktail.  Sweet mango nectar takes the place of cola in this creeper cocktail your guests will LOVE!

[For all my N/A fans, you’ll find a non-alcoholic version at the end of this post!]

I love a good cocktail!  One of my favorite flavors for boozy drinks lately is mango.  It’s bright, fresh, and a little tropical.  It pairs well with vodka and rum (bar staples in my house), and you can use it in so many different ways.  This month fro 12 bloggers it’s all about brunch.  And we all know brunch without booze is just a sad late breakfast, so I’m bringing a cocktail to the party.
