Made with natural ingredients and free from added sugar, Absolut Mango allows the authentic mango flavour to take centre stage, creating a versatile spirit perfect for crafting refreshing cocktails or enjoying neat.

Unveiling the Mango Magic

Appearance: Crystal clear, reflecting the purity of Absolut's vodka base and the natural essence of mangoes.

Aroma:  As you raise the glass to your nose, a wave of ripe mango immediately greets you. It's a clean and vibrant aroma, reminiscent of freshly sliced mangoes, with a hint of tropical sweetness.  Some drinkers may also detect subtle notes of other tropical fruits, like pineapple or passionfruit, adding complexity to the bouquet.

Taste: The first sip of Absolut Mango delivers an explosion of juicy mango flavour. It's full-bodied and smooth, with a natural sweetness that complements the fruitiness. Unlike some flavoured vodkas, Absolut Mango avoids an artificial taste, showcasing the depth and authenticity of the mango essence.  The spirit retains a subtle warmth from the alcohol (38% ABV), but it's well-balanced and doesn't overpower the delightful mango character.

Finish: The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering taste of ripe mango on the palate.  A touch of peppery spice may emerge on the back end, adding a subtle complexity that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying.
