Mango Drink Selection Guide

Finding the perfect mango drink can be a challenge given the vast array of options available. From thick nectars and light fruit juice drinks to varieties with fruit pieces or carbonation, the differences are significant. This article serves as a guide to explain the characteristics of various types of mango drinks, providing you with a solid basis for making an informed choice when shopping for exotic beverages online.

What to Look for When Buying Mango Drinks

To find the right product for you, a few objective criteria can help guide your selection.

1. Fruit Content and Labelling

The labels on the packaging provide the first clue about the drink's composition. In the EU, these terms are clearly defined:

• Mango Juice: Consists of 100% fruit. It is either pressed directly from the fruit or reconstituted from fruit juice concentrate. Additives like sugar or acidifiers are only permitted to a very limited extent.
• Mango Nectar: Contains a legally required minimum fruit content, which for mangoes is 25%. Water and sugar or honey are added to the fruit pulp or juice. Many nectars have a higher fruit content, which is often indicated on the label.
• Mango Fruit Juice Drink: The fruit content here is below the required value for nectar. These drinks often contain water, sugar, and flavourings to create a mango-flavoured drink.

2. Texture and Additives

Mouthfeel is a crucial characteristic. Consider which consistency you prefer:

• Smooth Texture: Classic juices and nectars are homogeneous and fluid.
• With Fruit Pieces: Some drinks, like the well-known Mogu Mogu Mango, contain chewable pieces of Nata de Coco (coconut jelly), which provide a unique drinking experience.
• With Carbonation: For fans of sparkling refreshments, there are also carbonated mango drinks that offer an alternative to traditional sodas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between mango juice and mango nectar?

The main difference lies in the fruit content. Mango juice must consist of 100% fruit. Mango nectar, on the other hand, is a mixture of fruit pulp or juice (at least 25% for mango), water, and sugar. Nectars are often thicker and can vary in taste depending on the amount of sugar added and the fruit percentage.

What is the best way to store mango drinks?

Unopened mango drinks should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, they should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days to maintain quality and flavour. It is recommended to follow the specific instructions on the product label.

Are mango drinks suitable for making cocktails?

Yes, mango drinks are an excellent base for cocktails and mocktails. Thick nectars like the one from Gina work well to give tropical drinks a creamy texture and an intense fruit flavour. Carbonated versions like Lovers can be used as a sparkling filler in long drinks.
