I wrote this drink on a Friday night during service. Served it as Drink Of The Day on Saturday 6/28. Had some mangos that needed to be used. Decided to try my hand at cheong. Cut up 2 red mangos, 1 golden mango, and one small lime, then added them to a kitchen container. Put their weight in sugar on top and left them in the fridge overnight. Made a tester with Monin mango that the kitchen uses for one of their sauces. In the morning (530pm) I strained the syrup into a bottle through a fine mesh sieve. I did add a little bit of the Monin to supplement just to ensure I would make it through service, but I could have held off on that. I used ¾ of it and will use the rest Tuesday. This drink was super enjoyable. I could have 2. If you know me you know that is saying a lot.
