Product Information

The high alcohol content is going to intensify the flavor[ing], so what most brands do—and you see this with flavored rums or flavored vodkas—the cheap ones are always 60 proof, 50 proof and they add a lot of sugar to it,” says Grosscup. “They’re trying to hide the flavor with a bunch of added sugar. You can’t do that in tequila. A few of the other spicy [flavored tequilas on the market] cut it with pineapple or mango or something else, but we get around that by just using real peppers.” Agave syrup: Agave is often used as a sweetener with margaritas because it’s used to make tequila! It’s easy to find these days at most grocery stores. We’re especially excited to introduce Mango Shotta because it’s truly an offering driven by consumer trends and interest – inspiration came in large part from listening to beverage conversations on TikTok,” said Lauren Selman, global innovation and commercialisation lead at Sazerac. When YaVe first launched, its initial goal was to create and bottle a blanco tequila. It would also serve as the base for the flavored tequilas to follow. “Once we achieved the perfect blanco, we were able to focus on the sabores (flavors),” says Cruz. “We macerate the mango separately and naturally infuse it with our blanco inside of stainless steel barrels.”

This recipe is incredibly versatile, making it perfect for any time of the year. Here are some ways to customize it: Curious to try some of what the growing flavored tequila market has to offer? Here are a few bottles to seek out, whether you love the hottest hot or dialed down tropical fruit. You can easily turn this into a virgin margarita by swapping the tequila for mango nectar or mango juice and the triple sec for orange juice. Tanteo’s lineup included chocolate, tropical fruit and jalapeño flavored tequilas when it launched in 2009, but Grosscup dropped the chocolate and tropical fruit flavors when he took over as CEO. Instead, he’s honed in on the spicy flavors, launching habanero and chipotle tequilas.While this specific Mango Sunrise drink isn’t one that your corner pub might offer due to slightly obscure ingredients, it is a wonderfully refreshing beverage to sip at home, offer at your next BBQ or serve for brunch! In just about any liquor store you can find vodkas, rums and whiskeys flavored with everything from citrus and cucumber to cotton candy and maple syrup-smothered pancakes. But in recent years another spirit category has crept in amongst the usual flavored suspects: tequila. Flavored tequila could not legally be labeled as tequila—instead, it was a “tequila product”—until the Tequila Regulatory Council of Mexico updated its regulations in 2004.

Buffalo Trace owner Sazerac has launched a Tequila-based shot brand that combines mango and jalapeño, called Mango Shotta. Sazerac hopes Mango Shotta will “become the shot of summer” Mangoes: use frozen mango chunks to avoid diluting the drink with ice. If unavailable, cube fresh mangoes and freeze them beforehand. This mango margarita needs just a little sweetener to be perfectly balanced (contrary to our Classic Margarita, which has no added sugar). Here are a few of our favorite options and why we’d like to use them: Agave syrup: if you don’t have agave syrup, honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup work as good substitutes.YaVe founder Joe Cruz Jr. sees flavored tequila as the logical next step in the category’s growing popularity in recent years: “The U.S. market was already very familiar with vodkas, rums and whiskies so flavored versions were a natural progression,” says Cruz, who’s also based in New York. Taste and adjust the ingredients to your liking for sweetness or strength. If you like a stronger drink, add more tequila. For a sweeter margarita, add more agave or simple syrup. The acidity of the sauvignon blanc in this recipe helps balance out the sweetness of the agave syrup. Start by mixing 25ml each of agave syrup and sauvignon blanc in a small jug until it is a consistent liquid. Then add to a tall glass with 50ml blanco tequila and 25ml freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice (equal measures of each). Top up with soda water or bitter lemon and ice cubes, and stir. It’s almost a cross between a spritz and a margarita – very refreshing on a nice day.

Whether you choose to eat it or drink it, mango is a superfood!

Chili powder + sea salt to rim the glasses: adjust the spice level to your liking or skip this if you prefer a non-spicy drink. For a spicy twist, infuse tequila with jalapeño slices or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blender. Similarly to Tanteo, Playa Real is making 100 percent agave and 80 proof flavored tequilas. But instead of focusing on hot and spicy, the brand went all in on fresh fruit. Playa Real offers pineapple and mandarin flavors in addition to a classic blanco.As the queen of rationalization I have deduced that alcoholic beverages that include fruit juice are not all that bad for you. Mango, in particular, has a lot of health benefits. He also believes that being able to use fresh flavoring elements have, “helped us break down some barriers and shift mindset from skepticism to embracing our flavored tequilas.”
