India loves mangoes and that is evident in how we use the fruit in traditional cuisines across the country in not only coolers but also dishes that includes curries and pickles. Over the years, ‘King of Fruits’ as it’s more popularly called has seen its popularity grow from just being used in food to also being used in cocktails of different kinds.
As India bartenders and mixologists move beyond the classic cocktails, they are also taking the leap of faith with their skills and attention to detail to make unconventional cocktails. While using fruits in cocktails is not new, they are also taking it a step further by curating multiple cocktails with the seasonal fruit that will change the way you perceive mangoes. It also gives you the opportunity to surprise your guests at the next party you host this summer or to simply enjoy it by yourself while lounging at home on a hot and sultry summer afternoon this year.
