Instructions
Cinnamon simple syrup
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil until the sugar dissolves. Add in the cinnamon sticks, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

- Using a sharp knife, cut the mango on both sides and into chunks using the method described above, then scoop the mango into a blender. Pour in the cinnamon simple syrup and water, then blend on low until the puree is smooth.
- Add the ice to a wine or spritz glass, add in the basil, and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mango puree into the glass. Top with the chilled prosecco and garnish with 1 or 2 slices of mango.
