Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
Instructions
Prepare the Glass:
- Chill your cocktail glass in the freezer to keep your drink cool.
Blend the Mango:
- In a blender, combine the frozen mango chunks and a little bit of water to help blend it smoothly. Blend until the mango is pureed.
Mix the Cocktail:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and about 2 tablespoons of the mango puree. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Shake:
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Shaking not only mixes the ingredients but also chills and dilutes the drink slightly for a smoother taste.
Serve:
- Strain the mixture into the chilled cocktail glass. You can choose to strain it finely to remove all ice shards or leave some if you prefer a bit of texture.
Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with a slice of lime or a small wedge of mango on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of tropical flair.
