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.

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.

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.
