What You’ll Nee
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 3 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup white rum (adjust for preference, or leave out for a mocktail)
- 1 cup crushed ice
Pro Tips
- Pick the Right Mangoes: Use ripe mangoes for the sweetest and juiciest flavor. If they’re not in season, frozen mango chunks work perfectly!
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste as you go. If your mangoes are super sweet, you might not even need the simple syrup.
- Chill Everything: Make sure your rum, mangoes, and even your glasses are cold to keep the drink icy fresh.
- Go Big: Double or triple the recipe for parties—it’s a guaranteed hit!
- Make it Fun for Kids: Skip the rum and turn this into a mango slushie. Add a splash of orange juice for extra flavor.
Tools Needed
- Blender
- Citrus juicer

Substitutions & Variations

Instructions
1. Blend It Up
Add diced mangoes, lime juice, simple syrup, white rum, and crushed ice to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
3. Taste and Adjust
Taste the daiquiri and adjust the sweetness or lime juice as needed. Blend again briefly if you add more ingredients.
4. Serve and Garnish
Pour the daiquiri into chilled glasses. Garnish with a lime wheel and a slice of mango for that extra tropical touch.
