Bold flavors do not require an overly complicated cocktail. It is time to put down the shaker and grab a bottle of Mango Shotta. Whether drunk in an instant or sipped a little more slowly, this tequila beverage definitely makes an bold impression.

Many people appreciate that the classic mangonada is a bright, refreshing beverage that quenches the thirst on a warm day. The sweetness of the tropical mango and the heat from the spice play off each other in perfect balance. The heat lingers on the tongue but it never scorches the palate.

While mango often flavors a margarita or other tropical cocktail, some people prefer a more simple option. The pour and enjoy bottle has become more popular. But, a shot might be just one note and a cocktail might be too complicated. Luckily, there is another option.

Mango Shotta is not only fun to say but also a party in a bottle. It is a mango jalapeno tequila. As seen by the vibrant orange color, there is no mistaking the flavor profile.

While there are some spicy liquors or fruit infused options, this idea is a more complex flavor, but it is a simple pour. Additionally, it has a lower ABV than a traditional liquor shot. Although no one should throw caution to the wind, it is an easier option to drink.

Although Mango Shotta is designed to be drunk as a shot, a few modifications can make this liquor even more enjoyable. First, it is best served chilled. It might not necessarily the way intended, the colder temperature just feels better on a warm day.

Some people will want to amplify the spice with a tajin, smoked salt, or flavored rim. While there is no need to focus on the salt and lime ritual, some additional flavors can be nice. Personally, serving the shot with a slice of fresh mango, sprinkled with tajin is quite enjoyable.

Additionally, serving the Mango Shotta with a little tonic water, sparkling water, or club soda is nice. Many people enjoy a spritz. Adding a little sparkling water to the Mango Shotta mimics that idea with a bolder flavor.

From a spirited night with friends to an easy drink with some tacos, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this Sazerac tequila offering. Life is too short to sit on the flavor sidelines. Ready to drink your Mango Shotta?
