What fruit goes well with gin?

Pretty much any fruit goes well with gin with the right cocktail recipe. In this mango gin cocktail, the mango goes SO well to make this a perfect summer cocktail. But other fruits also go well with gin, such as in this Pomegranate Gin Fizz or this Kiwi Gin Cocktail.

You can also try this agua de valencia drink which is like a mimosa, but with a kick of gin.

Ingredients:

  • Mango Juice — Fresh mango juice is the best for this cocktail. The easiest way to extract fresh mango juice is to pass peeled mango chunks through a juicer. This will make sure you get the most juice out of your mango and also remove the pulp. If you don’t have a juicer, you can either buy mango juice or blend mangoes and press them through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Gin — Any type of gin works so use your favorite type.
  • Triple Sec — This adds a slight orange flavor that combines really well with the other flavors in this cocktail. If you don’t have triple sec, you can also use Cointreau.
  • Lime Juice — Again, freshly squeezed juice! The lime adds a subtle sour contrast with the sweet mango flavor.
  • Simple Syrup — This is a liquid water and sugar mixture. You can easily make this yourself or buy it pre-made.

How to make the mango gin cocktail:

  1. Make the simple syrup. If you are not using premade simple syrup then you can easily make your own using granulated sugar and water. On a saucepan over medium to high heat, add equal parts granulated sugar and water. Use at least ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup water. Stir occasionally as you heat the mixture and continue heating it until the sugar has completely dissolved. This will take about 5-10 minutes. Then, remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature before using in your cocktails.
  2. Extract the mango juice. Pass peeled mango chunks through a juicer to get enough fresh mango juice for your cocktails. Or, if you don’t have a juicer, blend ripe mango chunks into a purée and then pass this mixture through a strainer to remove the pulp. The amount of mango you need for one cocktail will depend on the type and size of mango you use as well as the method for extracting the juice— using a juicer is much more efficient than using a strainer.
  3. Make the cocktail. Add the mango juice, gin, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake well for 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass.

Description

A light, refreshing mango gin cocktail. This easy-to-make gin drink is the perfect spring and summer cocktail.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz mango juice, fresh
  • ¾ oz gin
  • ¾ oz triple sec
  • ¾ oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp simple syrup
  • Handful of ice

Instructions

  1. Add the mango juice, gin, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake well.
  2. Strain and serve.

Notes

  • Mango Juice: Fresh mango juice is what makes this cocktail taste so good. The easiest way to extract fresh mango juice is with a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend mangoes into a purée and pass them through a strainer. However, this method is not as easy to squeeze the juice out and you may end up with a few pieces of pulp — but it won’t affect the taste!
  • To make the simple syrup: Add ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup water to a saucepan and heat on medium to high heat. This will make a total of 2 oz of simple syrup. Continue to heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, approximately 5- 10 minutes. Remove the syrup from the stove and let it cool to room temperature before using in your cocktails. Store any leftover syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge.
  • Serving Size: One serving of this cocktail contains a fairly small amount of liquid, but is still quite a strong drink. If you want to add more liquid to fill a certain type of cocktail glass, serve these as double drinks. Or, add in some extra mango juice and/or a dash of club soda.

    Excellent cocktail recipe. I was out of Triple Sec and Cointreau so used Curaçao. Its blue colour made the cocktail most beautiful fresh shade of green green.
    Thanks and cheers!
