Tips for Perfecting Your Mango Whiskey Sour
Mango Purée vs. Mango Juice
For the best results, use mango purée rather than mango juice. Mango purée offers a thicker texture and richer flavor, enhancing the overall cocktail experience. You can find mango purée at most grocery stores or make your own by blending fresh mangoes.
Adjusting Sweetness
The amount of simple syrup can be adjusted based on your personal taste and the sweetness of your mango purée. Start with the recommended amount and taste as you go. You can always add more syrup if you prefer a sweeter cocktail.
