To turn it into a gin liqueur, simply add sugar. The juicy sweetness of fresh mango blends with the refreshing tartness of passionfruit for an uplifting edge. To experience the depth of flavour in all its glory, pour a generous splash over ice. Inhale its heady aroma, then relax, unwind, and savour each mouthful. A single sip of our Mango and Passion Fruit Gin Liqueur is bursting with bold flavours and infused with cacao nibs for a smooth and satisfying drinking experience. Our gin liqueurs use real fruit flavours for full-bodied, authentic tastes and aromas that work beautifully as a standalone tipple or mixed with your favourite tonic. With such bounteous natural ingredients at our fingertips, there’s no need for artificial flavours or colourings.

What mixer goes with gin liqueur? This is a question that many people ask, and there is no one definitive answer. However, there are a few mixers that work well with gin liqueur. In the case of passionfruit and orange gin, you might want to try a mix of passionfruit juice and orange juice. If you’re looking for something a little bit more tart, you could also try using lime juice as your mixer. What flavors go well with passionfruit? A passionfruit martini if you don’t already know is usually a mix of vodka, passion fruit liqueur, sugar syrup, lime, passion fruit and prosecco. These ingredients can change and vary depending on your point of view, or recipe you use, however. Herbs and spices like vanilla, thyme, lavender, mint, cardamom or chilli may only need a few hours steeping in the gin, whereas fruits, strongly flavoured vegetables and berries will probably be best left for a week or two, maybe even up to a month. To really let your homemade passion fruit gin sing, try it with a neutral tonic and lots of ice. If you don’t like tonic or want to try something new, we particularly love it with pineapple soda, it complements the flavour so well!
