4 Medium Mangos, Very Ripe,Peeled, Pitted -- pureed

2 Tablespoons Tequila Or Vodka

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over high heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is simmering, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have a little more than 2 1/2 cups.
Combine 2 1/2 cups warm syrup with the mango puree, tequila or vodka, lime juice and lime zest. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. For faster freezing, chill the mixture in the refrigerator.
Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's instructions.

Serving Ideas : Great after spicy food, or as a light dessert.
NOTES : I used tequila, and the flavor was wonderful. Be careful not to exceed the amount of alcohol called for, or the mixture will not freeze. (Would make a nice slushy drink, however.)
The mangos I found were large, and I only needed three to get 2 cups of puree.
