Matchbook Distilling Flamingo Mango Chili Liqueur 20%ABV

A lush, tropical sweetness of fresh mango nectar opens the nose, followed by bright juniper adjacent citrus and a savory undercurrent of dried chili flakes, with a juicy, full bodied entry and a spicy, smoky finish.
Created by Leslie of Matchbook Distilling after a Yucatán trip inspired by street vendor paletas of mango sprinkled with Tajín style chili and lime. Peak mangoes were peeled by hand and added to distillates of fresh Persian and black lime resting in the distillery's demijohns, macerate for about a year before arbol, ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles are added and steeped further, proofed with a syrup made from those same chiles
