Mouth-watering mango pulp cuisine
"Be it the chilled mango-based cocktails or mouth-watering pulp cuisine, it is the choice of many cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants to enhance their sales and also to elevate the guest experience," Sandip Chatterjee, food and beverage manager, Upper Deck Bar of Mumbai-based The Resort Hotel, told IANS.
Mango Daiquiri
Mango is also a highly preferred fruit for drink lovers as it gets well-balanced with alcohol and the citric taste of the fruit gives out a refreshing feel, says Sanjay Kumar, executive chef of Delhi's Tex-Mex restaurant Rodeo.
"Mango-based cocktails are very refreshing to beat the torrid heat, and yet it gives you a taste that is not overpowering at all. It is one of the most used ingredients to prepare any dish or beverage in the summer and one that appeals to the customer the most," Kumar told IANS.
Mango Margarita
Rodeo, in fact, has launched a special Mango menu and are serving special cocktails like Mango Margarita and Mango Daiquiri at just Rs.395 exclusive of taxes.
There's also a Cafe Immigrant, which has a Thai lemongrass and mango chaas, spiked with vodka.
"The lemongrass keeps the guests refreshed as well as mango keeps the tantalising fruity flavour," said Umesh Kapoor, consultant chef, Cafe Immigrant.
