Mango Cocktails And Desserts: 5 Sweet And Fruity Pairings For Summer Season
In summers, one of the fruits that ripens and becomes available in abundance is the mango. Sweet, juicy and thoroughly luxurious, ripe yellow mangoes start making an appearance in cocktails and desserts as the temperatures begin to rise during this season. When added to cocktails, mango puree, syrup or a simple aamras or mango pulp bring lots of sweet flavours and textural nuance to blends.
Soft and juicy mango chunks added as garnishes give cocktails a chewy textural break whereas a fine mango puree imbues into drinks a silky and smooth quality which lends them more body. Such dense drinks prepared with the addition of this ripe summer fruit can also be paired with a number of different desserts whose sweet taste compliments the flavours of tropical mangoes. A mango cocktail can then be served alongside sweet treats as part of the dessert course served after a hearty meal.
Read on below to know more about some of the mango cocktails and desserts that can be brought together as sweet and fruity pairings exclusively prepared in summer weather:
Mango Mojito And Coconut Mango Panna Cotta
Introduce tropical summer flavours into the dessert course by preparing a coconut panna cotta complete with the sweet and creamy notes of this fleshy fruit. Pair the sweet and dense dessert finished off with a mango coulis with a mojito variation infused with a puree or pulp extracted out of the fresh, ripe fruit. The sweet notes in the mango will undercut some of the sour and tangy flavours of lime juice and the spicy touch of mint leaves in the mojito to deliver a mix of citrusy and sweet tropical flavours that blend well with the creamy notes of the coconut and mango panna cotta.
Spicy Mango Margarita And Mango Cheesecake
One of the more popular cocktail variations prepared using mangoes is the sweet and spicy mango margarita blended with the addition of 30 ml Don Julio Blanco Tequila or any other premium tequila of choice. It is a dash of chilli powder which cuts through the otherwise dense flavours of the cocktail to lend it a more layered flavour profile. Pair the cocktail with mango cheesecake whose fruity and sweet effect builds into the spicy and sweet flavour contrast offered by the cocktail.
Frozen Mango Daiquiri And Mango Mousse
Mango daiquiri is a popular summertime tropical offering brought together with the addition of fresh mango chunks. The drink can be turned into a slushie-like frozen cocktail by blending it with 10 ml coconut cream and lots of crushed ice. Such a cocktail complete with the addition of a dash of lime juice will become a mix of sweet and acidic flavours that compliment the notes of ripe mangoes. Serve the daiquiri with a soft and silky mango mousse whose fluffy and fruity tastes will compliment the creamy, mango infused cocktail blend.
Mango Lassi Martini Cocktail And Rose Mango Macaron
Mango lassi has a creamy texture and a sweet taste which comes from the addition of mango pulp or aamras to the yogurt based blend. With the addition of 30 ml Tanqueray No. 10 Gin or any other premium gin of choice as well as a dash of rose water, the mango lassi martini cocktail becomes an interesting choice as a drink pairing with dessert. This can be served alongside an identically floral and aromatic rose mango macaron whose nutty and creamy profile compliments the dense qualities of the lassi martini cocktail.
Mango Bellini And Mango Mint Pavlova
Add about 30 ml of good quality sparkling wine to 2-3 tablespoons of sweet mango puree for preparing a bubbly bellini complete with a fizzy carbonation that highlights the fruit’s flavours. Pair the mango bellini with mango and mint pavlovas for a creamy, meringue-like tropical touch which forms a nice fruity contrast against the sparkling effect of the cocktail.
