Product details
Desi Daru Alphonso Mango Vodka is a flavoured vodka that pairs Indian Alphonso mangoes with a spirit made from English wheat, bottled at 41% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The Alphonso is one of India's most prized mango varieties, known for rich, honeyed flesh, and that ripe sweetness sits on a grounding wheat base. As a seven times distilled vodka, it has a clean, soft texture that lets the fruit lead. It suits mango lovers, fans of Indian cooking and anyone building a tropical long drink.
Desi Daru Alphonso Mango tasting notes
- Nose: Ripe mango flesh and apricot, with a hint of orange blossom.
- Palate: Juicy and rounded, with sweet mango, a touch of peach and soft wheat.
- Finish: Medium length, fruity and warm, with clean grain.
How to drink Desi Daru
Serve it chilled over ice in a tumbler, or lengthen it with soda and a squeeze of lime. Desi Daru with Indian food is the obvious pairing: tandoori chicken, onion bhajis, a mild korma or paneer tikka all sit comfortably beside the ripe mango. It also suits a summer barbecue or a weekend curry night at home.
Desi Daru mango cocktails
- Mango Collins: 50 ml, 20 ml fresh lime juice and 10 ml sugar syrup over ice in a highball, topped with 100 ml soda water.
