Cocktails with Mango purée
Mango purée is a thick, smooth fruit purée made from the pulp of ripe mangoes.
Taste profile
Lush tropical sweetness with a soft, slightly resinous fruitiness and a gentle tartness on the finish.
How it's used
A spoonful or two adds body, sweetness, and tropical fruit character; it is shaken into the build to disperse its weight, blended into frozen drinks, or spooned as a base, and dosed to offset sharper acidic components.
Substitutes for Mango purée
Another sweet tropical fruit purée, such as passion fruit or peach, gives a comparable body and sweetness.
Description
It is produced by blending or sieving the flesh of ripe mangoes into a homogeneous pulp, sometimes lightly sweetened or strained to remove fibre; it is sold chilled, frozen, or shelf-stable, and ranges from pale gold to deep orange.
Storage
Fresh or opened purée is perishable; refrigerate and use within a few days, or keep frozen until needed.
