It’s also quite simple to construct, and if you want to include everyone, you can even make a version that kids would like. Let’s get started!
What You Will Need
- Two ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into little pieces
- 1/4 cup of lime juice that you just squeezed (approximately 2 limes)
- 3 tablespoons of simple syrup (or more if you like)
- 1/4 cup of white rum (you can change the amount to taste or leave it out for a mocktail).
- 1 cup of crushed ice
What you need
- Blender
- Juicer for citrus
- Cutting board and knife
- Spoons and cups for measuring
- Glasses for serving
How to Do
- Mix It Up
Put sliced mangoes, lime juice, simple syrup, white rum, and crushed ice in a blender. Blend on high until it is smooth and creamy. - Taste and Change
Try the daiquiri and add more lime juice or sugar if you need to. If you add extra ingredients, blend again for a little time. - Serve and Decorate
Pour the daiquiri into glasses that have been chilled. Add a lime wheel and a slice of mango to the top for a tropical touch.
Helpful Tips
- Choose the Right Mangoes: Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor and juiciness. Frozen mango chunks work great if they’re not in season!
- Taste as you go to change the sweetness. You might not even need the simple syrup if your mangoes are really sweet.
- Cool Everything: To keep the drink icy fresh, make sure your rum, mangoes, and even your glasses are cold.
- Make it bigger: For parties, double or quadruple the recipe. It will be a hit!
- Make it Fun for Kids: Don’t add rum; instead, make a mango slushie. For more flavor, add a splash of orange juice.
Changes and substitutions
- No mango? You can also use pineapple, peaches, or a variety of tropical fruits.
- No rum? For a drink without alcohol, try coconut water, orange juice, or soda water.
- No sugar? Use honey or another sweetener instead of simple syrup.
Tips for making ahead
- Cut your mangoes into small pieces and squeeze the lime juice ahead of time. You can keep them in the fridge for up to a day.
- For an even frostier cocktail, freeze pieces of mango!
Storing and Using Leftovers
You should eat this right away, but if you have leftovers, put them in a container that can go in the freezer and freeze them. When you’re ready to eat, blend it again with a little water or juice.
