Substitutes for Mango liqueur
Vodka with mango syrup and water
Mix two parts vodka, one part syrup and one part water. It matches Chinola's mango liqueur in strength and sugar, so use it in the same amount.
Vodka with mango syrup and purée
Use unsweetened mango purée in place of the water. The fruit comes through more, and the sweetness rises slightly.
Use the same amount, but the drink will taste of peach, without the tropical note of mango. Sweetness varies a lot between brands.
Mango purée with syrup
It has no alcohol and far more body than a liqueur. The drink comes out thicker and weaker, so make up the strength with vodka.
Storage
Nothing spoils, but the mango aroma fades once air is in the bottle. Over a year or so a distinctive tropical bottle turns into a generic sweet one.
