What Ingredients do you need to make a Mango Breeze?

Vodka

We compared 12 different brands of Vodka and determined that Smirnoff was the overall best option. Given the current climate with Russia, that may seem like a questionable choice, but Smirnoff isn’t made in Russia, it’s made all over the world.

It actually has a history of Russian persecution and the creators were forced to flee Russia.

Cranberry Juice

As you’d expect, Cranberry Juice is made out of Cranberries – but it also contains sugar and other fruit juices.

The Cranberry is a fruit native to North America and is recognised for its bright red colour, tart taste, and its sheer versatility.

Cranberries can be used to make a whole host of things:

  • Cranberry Juice
  • Cranberry Sauce
  • Frozen Cranberries
  • Various dietary supplements that contain Cranberry extract.

For Cranberry Juice, we recommend:

Orange Juice

Orange Juice is an essential ingredient for most bars and fridges all around the world. Why? It mixes well with virtually any form of alcohol.

Cocktails with Orange Juice and Vodka? Absolutely.

Cocktails with Orange Juice and Tequila? Naturally.

Cocktails with Orange Juice and Rum? Sure, why not?

And the list doesn’t end there.

For Orange Juice, we recommend:

But to cut a long story short, here’s the cocktail shaker we recommend:

Highball Glass
