Summer is the perfect season to enjoy new, exciting mango cocktails. From a Chilli Mango Margarita to a Mango Mimosa, we’ve got so many delicious creations you can try at home!
Mangoes are the summertime fruit that can be enjoyed any time of the day. From jazzing up morning cereal bowls to elevating the humble pavlova and making salads exciting, mangoes are everywhere at this time of year and they go in just about everything. So, of course we had to make a mango schnapps!
Selecting the highest quality mangoes is only the start of our mango schnapps making process. The fruit is fermented at our alpine distillery before being distilled and bottled in our signature frosted bottles.
At wildbrumby distillery, we’re proud to make exceptional schnapps. And with this schnapps it’s like we’ve captured the summer sunshine and bottled it for your enjoyment.
Our wildbrumby mango schnapps has a bright aroma and embodies the true tastes of tropical, summer mangoes – yum!
It is perfect for poolside parties, served neat or on ice in the summer heat, but did you know there’s so much more you can do with this schnapps?
No matter what time of the day you like to enjoy your mangoes, it just so happens we have a boozy recipe for every occasion… brunch, dinner and dessert!
Chilli Mango Margarita
A delightfully sweet and spicy twist on a party classic, this Chilli Mango Margarita cocktail is perfect paired with a Mexican feast of tacos, or chilli con carne. Not a fan of tequila? That’s ok. There’s more than enough spirit in this beverage with a kick.
Ingredients:
• 40 ml tequila (silver or reposado) or a good quality Australian Agave Spirit
• 30 ml wildbrumby Mango schnapps
• 10-15 ml wildbrumby Devils Tongue schnapps
• 90 ml Fever-Tree Margarita Mix
• 30 ml mango puree or juice
• Ice cubes
• Lime wedge (for rimming the glass)
• wildbrumby Pink Gin Salt (for rimming, optional)
• lime wedge for garnish
Method:
1. Prepare the Glass:
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita or rocks glass.
Dip the rim in coarse salt. Set aside.
Pro-Tip: only rim half the glass with salt so you can enjoy the same drink in two ways
2. Shake It Up:
Add the tequila, Mango schnapps, Devil’s Tongue schnapps, Fever Tree Margarita Mix, mango puree, and a handful of ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to combine and chill.
3. Serve:
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
4. Garnish:
Add a lime wedge for a tropical finishing touch.
Optional Variations: You can add all ingredients (except the salt) to a blender and blend it with ice for a frozen margarita.
If you don’t like it spicy, leave the Devil’s Tongue schnapps out for a fruitier version.
