The Tannins
Goya Mango Nectar
Mango Nectar from Goya is a thick and almost pulpy beverage, absolutely bursting with sweet flavors and aromas. The mouthfeel from drinking it reminds me of a smoothie, best served very cold on a hot summer day. I like to freeze this nectar into ice cubes and then blend it in with a variety of different drinks to stay cool. It comes in cans and box-like bottles, and for some reason I prefer the taste of the boxed version over the can.
The Terpenes
Ray Charles Live Sugar and Sauce by Grassroots
Ray Charles has become a favorite of the Maryland Cannabis world, from the flower to the various forms of concentrate it has been released in. The consistency of this batch is a perfect sauce, with ideally-sized diamond clusters for dabbing. Unscrewing the lid unveils a blend of mango-like terpenes that coats my nostrils every time I open it. I found this most useful on my days off or before bed due to its heavy sedating properties.

The Pairing
The thickness of the mango nectar combined with the thick smell of sweet mango terpenes in the oil makes this a match made in heaven. Both smoking the oil and drinking the juice feel like consuming a smoothie. I love it when terpene profiles feel natural, and this sauce is a perfect example of something that tastes fruity in a natural way.
