Mango-Infused Summer Cocktails Your Tastebuds Will Thank You For
Among fruits, mango is unarguably the emblem of summer. Just thinking about it makes you want to don a pair of shades. But why stop at daydreaming when you can bring those vibes to your summer bar with a lineup of mango-infused cocktails? And not just any cocktails—we're talking about concoctions that sing with the finest spirits.
The Mango Muddle Mojito
First up, let's take the classic mojito and give it a mango twist. Grab your muddler because we're about to mix 45 ml of Captain Morgan White Rum with the pulp of one ripe mango, a few mint leaves, and the juice of half a lime. Top it off with soda water and a sprinkle of sugar to taste. It’s like the mojito went on a tropical holiday and sent you a postcard from the beach.
Smirnoff Mango Tango
Vodka and mango? Yes, please. For this cocktail, pour 45 ml of Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka over ice, add 60 ml of mango juice, a dash of lime, and if you're feeling adventurous, a hint of chilli powder. Shake it up, garnish with some mint leaves and there you have it—a cocktail that's as vibrant and lively as a summer fiesta. It's sweet, spicy, and downright irresistible.
Johnnie Walker Sunset Spritz
Who said whisky couldn't be summer-y? Mix 30 ml Johnnie Walker Black Label with 30 ml of mango nectar and a splash of soda. Serve it in a tall glass with ice, and garnish with a slice of mango and a sprig of mint. It's the perfect way to watch the sun dip below the horizon.
Tanqueray Tropical Twist
Gin enthusiasts, this one's for you. Combine 45 ml of Tanqueray London Dry Gin with 90 ml of fresh mango puree and the juice of one lime. Add a touch of simple syrup to sweeten the deal. Serve over ice and garnish with a lime wheel. It’s a gin cocktail that's not afraid to show off its fruity side, perfect for sipping in the garden as you soak up the summer sun.
The Mango Masala Mary
And for the brunch crowd, let's spice things up with a twist on the Bloody Mary. Mix 45 ml of Ketel One Vodka with 120 ml of tomato juice, 30 ml of mango puree, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and, for that masala kick, a sprinkle of your favourite spice mix – we recommend amchur or garam masala. It's savoury, tangy, and a bold start to any summer day.
