Our summer vacation to the beach was cancelled months ago. We had an amazing European holiday planned that we had been looking forward to, but the universe had other plans. This year there will be no long walks on the beach, ocean views, or breakfast buffets. But there will be drinks. Lots of tropical drinks.
How to make a Tropical Mango Cocktail:
- In a smoothie maker or blender, mix ½ C chopped frozen mango pieces and ½ C ice until slushy. Add a tablespoon of water as needed to make smooth.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine all 3 oz orange juice, 3 oz grapefruit juice, 4 oz dark rum and 4 oz mango liquor with ice and shake.
- Fill 4 8 oz glasses half way with ice. Divide mango evenly and then top off with juice and alcohol mixture.
- Cut a lime into 4 sections. Squeeze lime juice on top and serve with a straw and fresh mango as a garnish.
We are not ones to sulk about what should have been. Instead, we’re bringing the beach to our landlocked home in Pennsylvania by serving up some mean fruity cocktails! This Tropical Mango Cocktail is summer and sunshine in a glass. One sip will transport you to an breezy oceanside lounge chair where you can feel the sand between your toes.
Keith combined the flavors of mango and fresh squeezed juices to create a bright and juicy cocktail that just makes me smile. The beach will have to wait, but at least we have each other. And a good blender.
