Cocktails with Mango vodka
Mango vodka is a flavoured vodka: a neutral base vodka carrying added mango flavouring, sometimes with a small amount of sugar.
ABV40%(class legal minimum 37.5% in the EU, 30% for US flavored spirits)
Taste profile
Ripe mango dominates the nose and palate, over a clean, near-neutral spirit body that stays only lightly sweet with a warming finish.
How it's used
Reached for when a drink needs alcoholic strength and a mango note in one pour, it works as a base measure — stirred, shaken or built — or as a smaller accent alongside a plain spirit. Dose it as the strength component; its low sugar means it does not sweeten a build the way a liqueur would.
Substitutes for Mango vodka
Plain vodka of comparable proof with mango flavouring reintroduced separately, plus a touch of sugar or simple syrup to match any slight sweetness; the mango aroma must be added back, since another flavoured vodka cannot supply it.
Often confused with
A mango liqueur carries a high sugar content and lower alcoholic strength, while mango vodka is a spirit-strength flavoured vodka with little added sugar.
