Mangoes are added to distillates of fresh Persian limes and black limes (certified organic corn spirit base). The mangoes macerate for about one year before various chilies are added.

If you've spent any time in Mexico, you're familiar with Tajín - undeniably a cultural icon of Mexico. Tajín seasoning is often used to sprinkle over fresh fruits like mango, watermelon, and pineapple, as well as on vegetables, meats, snacks, and beverages. The spiciness of the chili peppers, the tanginess of the lime, and the saltiness come together to create a vibrant and zesty flavor profile that enhances the natural taste of the ingredients it's paired with.

Arbol, ancho, guajillo and pasilla chilies create the Matchbook original version of the Tajín spice blend. Whole, dried chilies are added to the mango maceration. Then, the mixture rests for several months before straining and proofing with a syrup made from those same chilies.

Flamingo Riviera tastes like sweet mangoes with a big chili profile - a bit spicy, a bit tangy, a little smokey, with a touch of raisin and fruit.
