Chilli Mango Passion Cocktail: mango, chilli and a spiced rim
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
Rim a glass with salt and chilli powder, then shake 30 ml Swa Mango Passion syrup, a little lime juice and 60 ml vodka, gin or white rum. Pour into the glass and top with soda. The chilli cuts the mango's sweetness.
Why mango with chilli?
Mango aur mirchi is a familiar Indian pairing. The sweetness of the mango is cut by the salt and chilli on the rim, so the drink does not feel cloying.
Which spirit?
It works especially well with white spirits: vodka for a clean serve, gin for botanicals, white rum for roundness. Use the same recipe as a mocktail by dropping the spirit. See our bar programmes and more Swa recipes.
