A fabulous drink that can only be found at one East Village bar.
The cocktail is available at the new bar Superbueno.It is just about time for a beverage to be anointed the “drink of the summer.” When it happens, it is a good sign that it will be everywhere, but it is not necessarily that the drink will beto the seasonal throne. Meanwhile, the merits and drawbacks of the espresso martini, Aperol spritz, and hard seltzer were discussed and debated during their own respective reigns.
Although it is fabulous and summery, one detail about the green-mango martini that gives me hope is that it is only served at one bar,, a new Mexican American establishment at the corner of First Street and First Avenue in the East Village. It’s not even a month old, but it’s already an industry favorite, and it was full the first time I went, on a Monday at 10 p.m.
Back to the drink: A green-mango martini is only a martini in the sense that it is a small glass of strong, stirred elixir. Nacho says it was inspired by the fruit vendors who work by the subway, both here and in Mexico. It is made with neither gin nor vodka, instead starting with a base of Patrón that’s infused with unripe mangos, giving it a sour, slightly green flavor.
The real mango soul in this drink comes from a mango brandy that’s made by a friend of Nacho’s. “He uses the whole mango: crushes it, ferments it, and then distills it,” says Nacho, who then adds honey and Sauternes. He figured it was a “no-brainer” since mango is often listed at the top of the dessert wine’s tasting notes. In addition to helping add sweetness, the ingredients help give the drink a luscious texture.
It’s $18, and the amount of labor involved in its creation means it will probably never achieve ubiquity in the cocktail world. Even if a “mango martini” does show up somewhere else, it isn’t going to be this one, which is good because it’s an excuse to stop into Superbueno, specifically.
