History
The Mango Vodka Sour has no documented creator or date; it is a fruited riff on the Vodka Sour, itself a vodka take on the older sour template of spirit, lemon and sugar.
Its defining change is mango, as both mango vodka and mango liqueur. It also uses less lemon and sugar than the standard Vodka Sour, skips the egg white, and is served up in a coupe rather than over ice.
