Mango is a versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of cocktails, from tequila to vodka to rum drinks. It pairs well with other fruits and can be used as the main fruity note or as a subtle flavor. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect mango cocktail.
The not too sweet and slightly mysterious tropical mango can successfully invite itself into all kinds of cocktails. It is particularly welcome in tequila, vodka and rum drinks as a center of attention or as a whisper of flavour. From mangotini to Sex-on-the-Tropical-Beach, mango cocktails can kick-start any party.
Mango can be used on its own as the only fruity note in a margarita, but it gets along very well with other fruits which, more often than not, is a ménage of several. A margarita that allows strawberries and mango to mix it up will puff itself up and even better when frozen and stirred into a refreshing summery glow. The home bartender who gets caught without berries can try another fruit like peaches or nectarines, experimenting with different mango cocktails to find the best combination.
Another tasty tequila mango drink is a snap to put together. All you need is some sugar water, a couple of peeled and chopped mangoes, a squirt of lime and tequila. This is a thick drink, almost like a smoothie, so it’s a good idea to serve it with a spoon.
Guava, mango and lime juice mix well with a little rum. A handful of crushed ice, a sip of magic, and everyone will want to dance under the limbo stick. For a bartender feeling perky, adding sugar, fresh ginger, and lemon or orange zest will keep the party going.
Another ramin concoction is a mango mai tai. Pineapple juice, grenadine, margaritas and several slices of mango jump into the blender with some crushed ice and into guests’ glasses, and pretty soon it’ll be guests jumping for joy. As with the other mango cocktails, other fruits can be added to sweeten the enjoyment.
A pretty pink version of a kick-your-behind martini gone crazy calls for coconut rum, vodka and tequila, which is mixed with pineapple juice. The coconut cream and some chopped mango sweeten and smoothen the combination in the blender. A splash of grenadine kisses these mango cocktails with the color of the setting sun.
Another powerful combination for drinkers who like to chuckle when bubbles pop can be created from mango rum, mango vodka, and champagne or other sparkling white wine. Some fresh mango and sugar syrup goes into the blender with everything else except the champagne. This drink is offered in a champagne glass, with the champagne on top just before serving.
