DEAD MAN'S FINGERS Mango Tequila Cream Liqueur 70cl

Product Information

The high alcohol content is going to intensify the flavor[ing], so what most brands do—and you see this with flavored rums or flavored vodkas—the cheap ones are always 60 proof, 50 proof and they add a lot of sugar to it,” says Grosscup. “They’re trying to hide the flavor with a bunch of added sugar. You can’t do that in tequila. A few of the other spicy [flavored tequilas on the market] cut it with pineapple or mango or something else, but we get around that by just using real peppers.” To make the batanga, add 30ml blanco tequila (100% agave), 30ml fino sherry, 10ml salted raspberry syrup and bitters (if using) to a highball glass and stir to mix. Add cubed ice, stir, then add more ice until it reaches the top of the glass. Add chilled Coca-Cola and garnish with a big wedge of lime. Mangarita

As the queen of rationalization I have deduced that alcoholic beverages that include fruit juice are not all that bad for you. Mango, in particular, has a lot of health benefits. For a spicy twist, infuse tequila with jalapeño slices or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blender. We’re especially excited to introduce Mango Shotta because it’s truly an offering driven by consumer trends and interest – inspiration came in large part from listening to beverage conversations on TikTok,” said Lauren Selman, global innovation and commercialisation lead at Sazerac.Next you divide it into four glasses and pour over ice, and top with your mango juice. Add a cherry and an umbrella for some finishing touches, and enjoy! Buffalo Trace owner Sazerac has launched a Tequila-based shot brand that combines mango and jalapeño, called Mango Shotta. Sazerac hopes Mango Shotta will “become the shot of summer” Need help chopping it? Here’s how to cut a mango. And if you’ve got leftovers, try our Mango Salsa or Mango Skewers. How to make a mango margarita The acidity of the sauvignon blanc in this recipe helps balance out the sweetness of the agave syrup. Start by mixing 25ml each of agave syrup and sauvignon blanc in a small jug until it is a consistent liquid. Then add to a tall glass with 50ml blanco tequila and 25ml freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice (equal measures of each). Top up with soda water or bitter lemon and ice cubes, and stir. It’s almost a cross between a spritz and a margarita – very refreshing on a nice day. Lot lizard Tanteo, however, isn’t the only company that’s honed in on the American drinker’s desire for hot pepper tequila. YaVe Tequila launched in 2017 with two flavored tequilas— jalapeño and mango. Agave Loco and Playa Real also launched in 2008 and 2018, respectively, with flavored tequilas that slightly tone down the heat with a secondary flavor. Even giants like Patron and Sauza Tequila have flavors in their lineups. Gateway Drink

Curious to try some of what the growing flavored tequila market has to offer? Here are a few bottles to seek out, whether you love the hottest hot or dialed down tropical fruit. Similarly to Tanteo, Playa Real is making 100 percent agave and 80 proof flavored tequilas. But instead of focusing on hot and spicy, the brand went all in on fresh fruit. Playa Real offers pineapple and mandarin flavors in addition to a classic blanco. YaVe founder Joe Cruz Jr. sees flavored tequila as the logical next step in the category’s growing popularity in recent years: “The U.S. market was already very familiar with vodkas, rums and whiskies so flavored versions were a natural progression,” says Cruz, who’s also based in New York.

Inspired by the traditional Mexican dish magonada, the new product combines ‘high-quality’ Tequila with the ‘sweet, fruity flavour of mango and the bold, spicy bite of jalapeño’. Agave syrup: if you don’t have agave syrup, honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup work as good substitutes.
