Weekend

Me and some friends went to a new restaurant called Yatra in downtown that has an amazing bar attached to it, Butterfly High and a night club, Bar Bollywood. Amazing food and flavors. We had several exotic cocktails, but the drink that got the highest marks was a non-alcoholic traditional Indian (from India) drink called lassi, that was mango and yogurt. Perfect drink for a sultry, steamy Houston night.

Mango Lassi

1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh mango pulp
1/3 cup cold water
4 tablespoons honey or sugar
9-10 standard-size ice cubes.

Blend everything but the ice cubes in the blender until the sugar or honey is dissolved. Add the ice and blend until frothy!
