Drink of the Month: September
Tango Mango at Kai is high on the fizz factor and low on the tastes-like-alcohol factor.

Cost: $9
Where to get it: Kai After Dark, 306 S. Campbell Ave., Springfield, 417-832-0077, kaiafterdark.com
What’s inside: Mango Malibu rum, Moscato d’Asti sparkling wine and raspberry liqueur
What it tastes like: It tastes like if you liquefied the fruit flavor of Razzles and the fizzy zip of Zots candies and then spiked the whole thing. This delightful little concoction blends a not-too-sugary sweet fruit flavor with a whole heck of a lot of soft, fizzy, tickle-your-nose carbonation. That’s because of the sparkling wine, and those bubbles go right to your head. The punch in this drink is masked by a cute name and a cuter flavor, but don’t be fooled. This lady means business.
