Behind the Ingredients: Flavour Profiles and More

We spoke about the mango mule ingredients, but what makes them the perfect additions to this drink? Here’s how the orchestra of components elevates the mocktail mango mule:

Mango Beverage: Forming the heart of this mocktail is a delicious mango beverage. Only this fruit can give you a deep sweetness with a tangy note that is unmissable in a mocktail. We call mangoes a wonder ingredient because they hold a variety of flavour notes, ranging from floral, acidic, fruity, and sweet to even herbal ones. This flavour-packed element, when introduced to others in this drink, manages to balance the tones while elevating each of them brilliantly. 

Ginger Ale: You need a little fizzy bubble in your drink to reckon the summer is finally here. Ginger ale gives you more than just that. Often consumed as a stand-alone drink, ginger ale makes for a brilliant mixer as well. It manages to add a refreshing zing with the patent gingery, spicy kick to this mango mule. The addition of ginger ale adds a lightness to the drink. It complements the lemon juice to cut through the sweetness to bring you a drink you can sip smoothly. 

Cucumber Slices: An unsung hero of any mule drink is the crunch of cucumbers. Since all our flavours are quite forward, cucumbers manage to add an air of mildness and coolness to the mango mule mocktail. This is the last piece of the puzzle to creating a complex yet well-balanced beverage.
