Violeta Noriega, author of the cookbook “Philippine Recipes Made Easy” has been curating the culinary art exhibit for many years. This year, Violeta shares with you some of the favorite Filipino drinks as well as some of her innovative concoctions.  She hopes to inspire you to learn, create and share an array of special refreshments for your enjoyment and for sharing with family and friends.

This concoction is from the luscious mango fruits grown in the Philippines. Take the pulp out of a ripe mango, put in a blender. Blend, with just enough water. Add a little sugar if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
