Red Lobster's signature cocktails, including their tropical and fruity offerings, feature a mango martini that has been criticized for its texture and flavor. Composed of Absolut vodka, Grand Marnier, and mango puree, the drink is described as having a candy-like mouthfeel and a murky color. The vodka overpowers the mango flavor, leading to questions regarding its place on the menu. A better version can be made at home using mango juice, ensuring proper mixing for improved texture and personalization options.
