With mercurial temperatures, it is probably the best time to have a chilled cooler and it gets better because the summer season boasts of mangoes. While the ‘King of Fruits’ can be used for sweet and savoury dishes, one shouldn’t miss out on adding them to refreshing mocktails and cocktails

India boasts of a wide variety of mangoes including Alphonso, Kesar and Totapuri that many of us love feasting on during this time of the year. While they are usually used to make desserts and savoury dishes, everyone can agree that the easiest way to consume them is by making a juice, which is an eternal favourite. However, the sweltering heat means that pulpy juice may just not be enough to quench your thirst or simply enjoy it at home on a relaxing day.
Having got a taste of the evolving seasonal menus in Mumbai restaurants, one may often want to add a different flavour or spirit to it. Over the years people have innovated with the fruit to not only make non-alcoholic but also alcoholic drinks; they are not only delicious but also heady mixtures that bring out the best of both worlds. Since the last three years of the Covid-19 pandemic, many people have been craving some of these very drinks at their most frequently visited restaurants but there are an equal number if not more, who want to enjoy these delicious drinks in the comfort of their home or feature them at their next house party.
