Tony Roma’s Inspired
We have always thought that is an art to mix your own mocktails but we were stand corrected when we had the privilege to “bartend” at Tony Roma’s. It is all about the right measurements and the drink recipe we are sharing today will prove it to you.
Inspired by Tony Roma’s own Mango Tango, we have decided to create one of our own and the result is one lip-smacking sourish concoction that is perfect for a warm day.
