Aam Panna Jaggery Cocktail
Aam Panna Jaggery Cocktail
Aam Panna Jaggery Cocktail is a quintessential summer cooler. This mango cocktail drink with a fun twist of tequila and jaggery is undoubtedly delicious and refreshing.
In India with summer comes a huge variety of mangoes. Streets are filled with fruit carts filled with fresh batches of juicy, pulpy, and ever-so delightful mangoes. Raw mangoes are as popular as the ripe ones!
Raw mango is used in curries, marinating, pickling and even drinks to its heat resistant properties. Raw mangoes are used in cooking as it helps in restoring the electrolyte balance as well as having diuretic properties. It helps survive the intense heat.
I have adapted the quintessential summer cooler into a cocktail recipe and paired it with jaggery and lime, to take the favourite summer drink to the next level.
